How to Prepare Wild Rice and Tofu Dumplings With Spicy Glass Noodle Salad [Vegan]
To Make the Filling:
- Combine all filling ingredients.
- Season with the sauce, leaning heavily on soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, and rice vinegar.
To Make the Sauce:
- Whisk all ingredients together, tasting periodically to get it to your liking. Go heavier on the vinegar and soy, with approximately equal portions of the others.
To Make the Dumplings:
- Mix all the dough ingredients together in a big bowl and add the water.
- 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. You're striving for a thickness somewhere around 1/8-3/16-inch. Try to get as thin as possible without tearing.
- Cut out some circles (around 4-inch), 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 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 vegetable 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 Glass Noodle Salad:
- Follow package instructions to cook the noodles.
- Once the noodles are cold, add in some of the leftover vegetables from the dumplings.
- Sauté the baby bok choy and add that to the noodles.
- Add in the seasonings and toppings and mix well.
