Vegetarian No Chicken And Dumplings Recipes

VEGETABLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Start by making the dough for the dumpling wrappers. Put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the water to the flour and knead into a smooth dough. This process should take about 10 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for an hour.
• In the meantime, make the filling. In a wok or large skillet over medium high heat, add 3 tablespoons oil and add the ginger. Cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the onions and stir-fry until translucent.
• Add the chopped mushrooms and stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid released by the mushrooms has cooked off.
• Add the cabbage and carrots and stir-fry for another 2 minutes, until the veggies are tender and all the liquid released has been cooked off. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl and allow to cool.
• To the bowl, add the chopped chives, white pepper, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and sugar. Season with salt to taste (though the soy sauce will usually add enough salt to the filling), and stir in the last 1/4 cup of oil.
• To assemble the dumplings, cut the dough into small tablespoon-sized pieces. Roll each out into a circle, and pleat the dumplings (see this post for step-by-step photos on how to fold a dumpling). Continue assembling until you've run out of filling and/or dough.
• To cook the dumplings, steam them or pan-fry them. To steam, put the dumplings in a steamer lined with a bamboo mat, cabbage leaf, or cheese cloth, and steam for 15-20 minutes.
• To pan-fry, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Place the dumplings in the pan and allow to fry for 2 minutes. Pour a thin layer of water into the pan, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow dumplings to steam until the water has evaporated. Remove the cover, increase heat to medium-high and allow to fry for a few more minutes, until the bottoms of the dumplings are golden brown and crisp.
• Serve with our favorite dumpling sauce!

CHICKPEAS AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion,garlic, carrots, parsnip, potatoes, celery, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Whisk together 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, salt, and dill in a medium bowl. Use a fork to gradually stir in 1/2 cup of milk. The batter should be a bit thicker than pancake batter, but still drop easily from a spoon; if it's too thick, add the additional milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the remaining flour over the vegetables and stir to coat; cook for about a minute, or until the flour is golden brown. Pour in the wine and cook until it has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add the broth, chickpeas, paprika and salt and pepper to the pot; bring just to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
• Drop the dumpling batter into the pot in heaping spoonfuls. You'll have enough batter for about 8 dumplings. (Keep them evenly spaced so they don't stick together as they cook.)
• Cover the pot and continue to simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the dumplings are firm to the touch and baked through. Remove the bay leaves and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

VEGAN NOT-CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, combine onions, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and broth. Heat on medium high and bring to a boil. Cook (uncovered) for about 15 minutes.
• Add frozen corn and peas, cook an additional 15 minutes, until potatoes are almost done (use a fork to pierce potatoes to check).
• Meanwhile, begin making the dumplings. I like to use my stand mixer for these, but a medium bowl and a fork will work fine also! Start by mixing together dry ingredients. Then, slowly pour in the almond milk and oil, using your fork to whisk as you go (or set the stand mixer to low speed). The dumplings should be combined well and STICKY. Set aside until the soup is ready for you to drop them in.
• Once the potatoes are close to done, and you have a good boil going, drop the dumplings by small spoonfuls into the pot. I like to work my way around the soup pot, making sure to fit as many as I can in! Once you are finished, the entire top of your pot should be filled in with dumplings. This recipe makes about 20, but it varies depending on how big you make them. Once you have all your dumplings in the pot, cover with a lid and cook for an additional 12-15 minutes. Leave the pot undisturbed for at least 10 minutes before you check!
• After 10-12 minutes, you can check your dumplings and taste them to see if they're done. You know they're finished when the middle is no longer gooey or doughy. Once finished, turn off heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Sprinkle with black pepper and a pinch of salt, if desired.

NO-CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a large pot combine water, vegetable broth, onion, celery, peas, corn, and carrots. Cook until boiling.
• Add biscuits by pinching off small pieces and dropping them into the boiling water; about 4 pieces per biscuit. Try to drop each new piece into an open spot in your water. Stir occasionally during this process and at the end to separate biscuit pieces.
• Let boil for a few minutes then add soup, butter, and seasonings. Stir until soup is dissolved.
• Bring back to a boil and turn down heat. Let simmer for 25-30 minutes until dumplings are at their desired texture.

MUSHROOMS AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Prepare the mushrooms: In a large Dutch oven, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high. Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add fresh mushrooms, carrots, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in grated shiitake powder and flour until mushrooms are evenly coated, about 1 minute. Add broth, 2 cups of water and thyme, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes longer. Discard thyme sprigs, and stir in cream.
• As the mushrooms simmer, make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, black pepper and baking soda until well combined. In a small bowl, whisk egg, milk and butter until well blended, then add to dry mixture and fold just until a dough forms. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Drop 12 equal spoonfuls of the dough into the pot, leaving some space in between. Cover and simmer gently over low heat until dumplings are puffed and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with chives.

VEGETARIAN CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Add broth and cream of mushroom soup (minus 1/2 cup reserved for the dumplings) to a large soup pot.
• Bring to a simmer, and add chik'n, potatoes and carrots. Simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes are just tender.
• While simmering, put flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Add shredded basil leaves and soup to flour blend and mix well.
• If dough is too dry add up to 1/4 cup more water.
• Add broccoli, kale, and zucchini to soup pot. Stir well, then add dumplings by the spoonful. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Buen Provecho!
