  • 1 Tbsp seasme seed oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped (5 cloves yield ~2 1/2 Tbsp or 18 g)
  • 1 3- inch piece ginger (peeled and diced)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (coarsely chopped)
  • 6 cups vegetable stock 
  • 2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce (plus more to taste)
  • 14 grams dehydrated shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 Tbsp white or yellow miso paste 
  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Once hot, add oil, garlic, ginger, and onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally for 5-8 minutes or until the onion has developed a slight sear (browned edges).
  3. Add 1 cup (240 ml // amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) of the vegetable broth to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Use a whisk (or wooden spoon) to scrape up any bits that may have stuck to the bottom to enhance the flavour of the broth.
  4. Add remaining 5 cups (1200 ml // amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) vegetable broth, tamari or soy sauce, and dehydrated mushrooms - stir.
  5. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer on low for at least 1 hour, up to 2-3, stirring occasionally. The longer it cooks, the more the flavour will deepen and develop.
  6. Taste broth and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more soy sauce or sesame oil if desired. Add the miso paste at this time

https://www.carrotsandflowers.com/best-damn-vegan-dumplings-recipe/ 

Dumpling Wrap
  • 1 1/2 cups (220 g)  all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115 ml) hot water
  • pinch of salt
Dumping Filling
  • 1 block tofu crumbled
  • 1 medium-sized Chinese cabbage, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 4 cloves freshly grated garlic
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 of a medium-sized purple onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp miso paste

  1. To prepare the dough, put the flour in a medium bowl. Add the hot water in a steady stream, stirring with chopsticks until a raggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth, 10 minutes. Sprinkle the dough with flour, cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand for 1 hour. Take the dough out and knead again for 5 minutes and then cover again with plastic wraps for 30 minutes. Bye then, the dough should be springy and soft.
  2. ​While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil on medium high. Add onions, garlic for a minute. Add tofu, shitake mushrooms, miso and ginger. Stir to combine. Then add Chinese cabbage. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the water from the tofu and veggies is cooked off.
  3. On a large chopping board or baking sheet, sprinkle with flour. Quarter the dough. On a floured work surface, roll each piece into a 12-inch rope. Cut each rope into 12 pieces and roll into balls; sprinkle with flour. Roll out 6 balls at a time to 3 1/2-inch rounds; brush off the excess flour. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the filling onto the center of each round wrap. Bring up the sides of the wrapper; press and pleat the edges to seal in the filling. Dip the bottom of dumpling in the plate water and then dip it in the bowl of sesame, so the bottom of the dumpling is evenly covered with sesame seeds. Place the finished dumpling onto the chopping board or baking sheet.
