Ingredients

Scale

For the Dumplings:

  • 30 dumpling wrappers
  • 3 oz tofu, cut into tiny cubes
  • 1 small carrot (about 3 tablespoons chopped)
  • ¾ cup chopped broccoli stem
  • 3 tablespoons frozen corn
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Oil for cooking

For the Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
  • Juice of ¼ lime
  • A handful of chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add ½ tablespoon of oil.
    • Sauté the carrot and tofu until the tofu turns golden brown.
    • Add the chopped broccoli stem and frozen corn, stir-frying for another 30 seconds (or longer for softer broccoli).
    • Season with salt, sugar, and ground pepper.
    • Reduce heat to low and add the cooked rice, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil. Toss until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the Thai sweet chili sauce and lime juice. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
  • Make and Cook the Dumplings:
    • Roll out 3 dumpling wrappers to 5″-6″ in diameter. Cover them with a cloth to prevent drying.
    • Fill a small bowl with water and another with oil.
    • Dab the edges of a wrapper with water. Place a heaping spoonful of filling in the center.
    • Fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold the sides to the middle and roll to seal.
    • Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook dumplings seam side down until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve:
    • Serve hot with the prepared sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
  • Ensure the filling is cool before assembling dumplings.
  • Experiment with different vegetables or proteins for the filling.
