2-Minute Vegetable Dumplings

Making dumplings in a microwave might sound crazy or even weird but we’ve figured out a way! The filling is packed with flavor and tons of delicious veggies. Adding a little sesame oil to the cooking water helps the dumplings from sticking together.

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the mushrooms, cabbage, chives, cilantro, ⅛ teaspoon sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and salt to a mini food processor. Process until finely chopped.

2. 2

   Add a heaping teaspoon of the filling to the center of a wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water and brush over the edges of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper over itself into a triangle and press the edges together to seal, pressing out any air. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

3. 3

   Add the wonton wrappers to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Pour in the hot water and remaining teaspoon of sesame oil. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until dumplings are floating and the wrappers are translucent.

4. 4

   Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, black vinegar, and chile oil.

5. 5

   Transfer the dumplings to a plate. Serve with the dipping sauce alongside.

6. 6

   Enjoy!
