Great meal prep, yummy and special! This recipe is for 70 dumplings. 10 dumplings is enough for one serving, the rest you can store in a freezer. I like to treat my guests with these vegan dumplings - it looks amazing on the plate, takes not much of your attention during steaming and it tastes really special and rich. No one will remain indifferent!

1.5cupSoya Chunks
0.5cupShiitake mushroomssoaked and diced
3Sun dried tomatoesdiced
1pinchSmoked paprika
1pinchNutmeg

1Onion
1cloveGarlic
Filling (option 2)
1Onion
1Carrot
200gCabbage
Instructions
In a large bowl mix flour and salt. Add hot water and mix it in using a spoon. Once temperature is tolerable for your hands, knead the dough. Grease it with oil and let it rest covered with a towel/lid/cling film.
Pour 3 cups of water in a stew pan, add dried soya chunks, chopped shiitake, sun dried tomatoes and spices. Cook it in boiling water for 15 min. Drain (if there is some water remaining).
Preheat a skillet with a bit of oil. Dice one large onion and fry it until golden brown. Add chopped garlic and simmer for another 30 seconds. Transfer it to soya chunks. Filling is ready! Let it cool down a bit before using it for dumplings.
Prepare another type of filling, if you want. Stew cabbage: add diced onions to a preheated skillet with 1 tbsp of oil. Fry until transparent then add shredded carrot. Once the carrot shrinks in size, add finely chopped cabbage. Stew for 10 min, add spices to your taste (salt, pepper).
Roll out the dough, cut it in small circles and fill them up, creating dumplings. I believe there is no rule in terms of shape. Do what works for you.
Steam dumplings for 25-30 min. Serve with soy sauce and with any veggies you like or with fresh salad (or both). You can also fry steamed dumplings to make them crispy.
