Magic Mince Dumplings

The clever team at Food Nation have kindly shared this yummy dumpling recipe with us. What makes it so special? It is completely vegan, using their plant-based Mushroom & Hemp Magic Mince. For vegetarians, vegan, flexitarians and anyone looking for a healthy meat alternative, this is one of the tastiest plant-based minces around.

Ingredients

500 g	Mushroom & Hemp Magic Mince (Main)
2 cans	Garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp	Ginger, finely grated
1	Baby carrot, or you could use bamboo shoots
2 tsp	Mirin
2 tsp	Soy sauce
1 tsp	Sesame oil
¼ cup	Fresh coriander, leaves and stalks, roughly chopped
2	Spring onions, finely chopped
1 packet	Dumpling wrappers
3 Tbsp	Vegetable oil

Directions

1. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Place a heaped teaspoon of mixture in a wrapper, brush water around the edges and seal the dumpling by pinching the edges together.
2. To cook the dumplings, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add the dumplings and cook until the bottom turns golden brown, add 3/4 cup water, and cover. Cook 8-10 mins until most of the water has evaporated, take off the lid and cook until completely evaporated. Serve with chilli and soy sauce.

Tips: Alternatively make as above, omitting the wrappers and fry heaped teaspoons of mixture in a little oil in a frying pan until golden brown, garnish and serve hot with a chilli sauce.
