Ring In The Year Of The Horse With House Foods' Chinese Tofu Dumpling Recipe

In honor of the upcoming Chinese New Year, House Foods created a recipe for delicious Chinese Tofu Dumplings which makes about 20.

Ingredients:

1 package (14 oz.) House Foods Premium or Organic Tofu Firm, drained and pressed

1 package (8 oz.) House Foods Tofu Shirataki Angel Hair noodles, drained, rinsed and cut into 1/2″ length pieces

1 package House Foods Small Round Wraps

1/2 cup dry wood ear mushrooms, diced (optional)

1/2 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms, diced

1 1/2 cups cabbage, chopped

1 carrot, diced

1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 scallions, diced

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil, plus extra for frying

Directions:

Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in large pan over medium-high heat. Crumble the tofu into the pan and add noodles, mushrooms, carrot, cabbage, ginger and garlic and heat for a few minutes. When the tofu and mushrooms are cooked through, add scallions and soy sauce and mix well.

Add 1 tablespoon of the tofu mixture into each wrap. Moisten the edges of the wrap with water, fold in half and press to seal, making a few pinches or folds to create a fan-like shape. Repeat for remaining dumplings.

Add sesame oil and dumplings to pan, a few at a time, and brown on each side (about a minute or two). Add about 1 tablespoon of water to the pan and cover, allowing wraps to steam. Once water evaporates, remove dumplings and put on a plate. Repeat for remaining dumplings.
