Ingredients

Method

1
Soak the dried black mushrooms in hot water for 10 minutes until softened, then drain and finely chop.
2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the carrots for 3 minutes until slightly tender, then drain and finely chop.
3
Blanch the spinach and cabbage leaves in the same boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain, squeeze dry, and finely chop.
2 minutes
4
Press the tofu between paper towels or in a tofu press to remove excess moisture, then crumble into small pieces.
5
Mince the garlic and cilantro separately, then combine in a large bowl with the crumbled tofu, chopped mushrooms, carrots, spinach, and cabbage.
6
Add the beaten egg, minced ginger, soy sauce, cornstarch, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and salt to the vegetable mixture and stir until well combined and the filling is evenly textured.
7
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the center, then wet the edges with water using a finger.
8
Fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal, then bring the two opposite corners together and pinch to form the classic dumpling shape.
9
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling until all 50 dumplings are formed, arranging them on a lined baking sheet or plate.
10
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then carefully add the dumplings in batches to avoid overcrowding and stir gently to prevent sticking.
11
Cook for 3–4 minutes after the dumplings rise to the surface, then continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes until the wrapper is tender.
