Vegan Siu Mai Recipe #350515
From VegNews- "The traditional steamed open-top dumpling called siu mai ("SHOE-mail") is usually filled with pork, shrimp, or chicken. Siu mai dumplings are not closed off, turning the top into a little window revealing what's inside.
30 min | 5 min prep
15 -20 siu mai
- 3 1/2 tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine
- 1 tablespoon gingerroot, grated
- 2 cups seitan, chopped small
- 1/2 cup shiitake mushroom, sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon five-spice powder
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1 (8 ounce) package wonton skins
- 1/4 cup cooked peas
- In a large skillet, heat margarine. Once it sizzles, add ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add seitan and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tamari and five-spice powder and cook for 3 minutes before adding hoisin sauce. Add cabbage and carrots and cook 5 more minutes.
- Make a circle with your forefinger and thumb. Place dumpling wrapper over your hand and then place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center. Fold up sides of the dumpling, creating a little cup. Dot the middle of each dumpling with a pea for garnish.
- Fill a large saucepan 1/4 of the way with water, place over high heat, and bring to a boil. In a metal colander over the pot steam buns for about 15 minutes.
