Ingredients
  

  • 🥟 For the Dumplings
  • 1 package round vegan dumpling wrappers or homemade if preferred
  • 1 cup extra-firm tofu pressed and crumbled
  • ½ cup finely shredded napa cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • 🍜 For the Miso-Ginger Broth
  •  
  • 4 cups vegetable broth unsalted or low-sodium
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar optional, for brightness
  • 1 small garlic clove smashed
  • 1 scallion sliced for garnish
  • Chili oil or garlic-chili sauce optional, for heat

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine tofu, cabbage, scallions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix until well combined and slightly sticky.
  2. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold, and pleat to seal tightly.
  3. Line a steamer basket with parchment or cabbage leaves. Arrange dumplings without touching. Steam over simmering water for 8–10 minutes.
  4. While steaming, heat vegetable broth in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in miso paste, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and rice vinegar. Let simmer gently for 5–7 minutes.
  5.  
  6. Ladle hot broth into bowls and add dumplings. Top with scallions and chili oil if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Never boil the miso broth — it destroys flavor and probiotics.
  • Dumplings can be frozen before cooking and steamed straight from the freezer.
