Roasted Tofu and Grilled Seitan Dumplings [Vegan]

This Recipe is :

Allergy-Free Dairy Free High Protein Vegan

Serves

Ingredients

For the Dumpling Dough:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rice flour
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, helps things coagulate)
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 cup warm water

For Cooking the Dumplings:

Sesame oil, for frying
Vegetable broth, for steaming

For the Filling:

Tofu
Seitan
Bell peppers, minced
Onion, chopped
Garlic, minced
Scallions, chopped

For the Sauce:

Sriracha
Sesame oil
Agave nectar
Soy sauce
Rice vinegar

Preparation

Sauté the filling ingredients until the vegetables are tender and the tofu and seitan are warmed through. Set aside.
Mix all dough ingredients together in a big bowl and add the water. The dough’s going to be sticky, but that’s good. When you’re ready to roll it out, heavily flour a board and get to it. You’ll want a side dish of flour for periodic sprinkling, but it’s important to keep it sticky to seal the edges.
Cut out some circles (about 4 inches in diameter), stuff them up with a tablespoon of filling, seal the edges with a bit of water, and set them aside. A bit of time in the refrigerator before cooking helps the texture, if you have time.
Pan fry the dumplings in a bit of sesame oil for a few minutes until browned on one side. At that point flip them over, hit the pan with 1/4 cup of the broth, and cover for about 5 minutes of steam time. Serve immediately, or keep under foil in a warm oven until you’re ready.
To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients together and stir. Go heavier on the vinegar and soy with approximately equal portions of the others.
