[Recipe] Edamame Chive Dumplings

Leave a Comment

There are a handful of foods that I turn to when I am looking for a warm hug in food form and one of those is the dumpling. I love them steamed, boiled or pan-fried. I love them filled with potatoes (pierogis) or tofu or veggies. I love gyoza, shumai, momos, ravioli, samosa, wonton, mandu… basically I haven’t met a dumpling that I didn’t like. Recently I found vegan wonton wrappers so I decided some homemade dumplings were a must so my littles and I made up a huge batch that we all gobbled up. 

These dumplings are filled with edamame and seasoned with lot of chives. 

Filling:

  • 2 heaping tablespoons kale pesto @hopefoods hummus or 1 tablespoon plain hummus and 1 tablespoon pesto
  • 2 cups steamed and shelled edamame
  • 1/3 cup chopped chives
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt (I used green garlic salt)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 Package of Wonton Wrappers 
  • olive oil or avocado oil.

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process into a paste. 

Now it’s time to set up your dumpling making station. You will need your wonton or dumpling wrappers, a small bowl of water and a parchment lined or lightly floured sheet tray. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of your filling into the wrapper, dip your finger in your water and go along the edge of your dumpling wrapper and the seal your dumpling; there are a number of methods when it comes to sealing your dumpling so go with whatever method you prefer. Place filled dumplings on the sheet tray while you complete filling the remaining dumpling wrappers. 

When it comes cooking your dumplings you can either boil them or go my favorite method pan fried. On medium high heat add just enough oil to coat the bottom of your pan. add your dumplings in a single layer and cook until just brown on the bottom. Then with your lid ready quickly add 1/4 cup of water and cover immediately and allow to steam for 5-7 minutes. Your dumplings will com out cooked through and nice and crispy on the bottom. I serve mine up with more coconut aminos, sriracha and a sprinkling of chives. 

What is your favorite dumpling?

  • 1T red curry paste
  • 2T soy sauce, tamari or shoyu

  • 1T arrowroot powder mixed with 1/4 cup of water
  • 1t garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup of dry roasted peanuts

  1. In a wok over medium high heat melt the coconut oil and coconut peanut butter together.

  3. Add in all the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the peanuts and cook for 7-10minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  4. Add in the peanuts at the end.  Serve with your favorite rice or noodles.

To make this recipe I used Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil and Coconut Peanut Butter.  The coconut peanut butter is rich and creamy tasting and works really well in this dish.  The peanut butter flavor is not overwhelming but is rather great combined with the coconut.  I found that this is not an easily spreadable butter but is great on warmed foods such as oatmeal, stir fries, noodles, and sweet potatoes.

“Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut Peanut Butter is made from organic peanuts and organic coconut. Two ingredients: nothing else! No fillers, no binders, no sweeteners, and no preservatives. The peanuts are 100% organic Valencia peanuts grown organically by family farmers in New Mexico and Texas. Grown in the dry climate of the southwestern United States, these peanuts are certified organic and free from aflatoxins. The dried coconut is certified organic coconut meat from the Philippines from coconuts that are grown with no fertilizers or pesticides. This premium dried coconut contains no additives or preservatives, and is not sweetened. Unlike most dried coconut on the market, our dried coconut products are not treated with sulfites to keep them white. Together, these premium organic roasted peanuts and the premium organic dried coconut are ground together to make a delicious and nutritious spread!” soucre
