2. For the steamed dumplings, you will ned a steamer. They are inexpensive and you can find on just about anywhere nowadays! Here is the steamer I use and love!

3. Get your dumplings station prepared by setting out the dumpling wrapper and covering them with a damp paper towel and grabbing a small bowl with warm water.

4. Work in batches and place a heaping tablespoon worth on filling giant the middle of the wrapper. Wet you finger in the small bowl of warm water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Gently fold the wrapper into a half moon and press the edges together.

5. Repeat this with all the fillings.

6. Work in batches to cook the dumplings, you don’t want to overcrowd the dumplings in the steamer. Line the bamboo steamer with Napa cabbage and the place the steamer on top of a large skillet that has about 2 inches of water in it. Place the dumplings on top of the cabbage and allow the to steam.

7. Steam the dumplings for 15 minutes.

8. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce!

As for the Vegan Kimchi Fried dumplings, once they are filled fry them in a large skillet with canola oil. You should fry them on medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy!
