01 Prep your vegan chick’n. I used the chick’n from Daring, it comes frozen and you can cook it immediately. It takes about 5-10 minutes, cook it on both sides until it’s nice and browned or blackened.

02 Prep your chickpea croutons. Drain rinse a can of chickpeas then toss them in a tbsp or 2 of oil, a pinch of sea salt, and about 1 tsp cajun seasoning. Air fry at 400 until crispy - check them at 12 min and go from there.

03 For the salad, I bought shredded iceberg lettuce and tossed it with Trader Joe’s Vegan Dill Dressing. You only need a small amount of dressing!

04 Assemble your wrap! I used spinach tortillas that were on the smaller side, so I only needed a small amount of each ingredient.

05 Grill or pan fry your wrap so that it seals. Alternatively, you can wrap it in foil. Cut down the middle and enjoy with fresh berries :)

Vegan Steamed “Crab” Dumplings

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Steamed Crab Dumplings.

If you’re a fan of dumplings or crab, you will LOVE these steamed “crab” dumplings. The “crab” is made from artichoke hearts and is blended with corn, carrots, vegan cream cheese, old bay seasoning, and sea salt. For this recipe you’ll need a bamboo steamer rack, food processor, and dumpling wrappers. The best part of these dumplings is they yield a large batch which you can freeze and pop in your oven, air fryer, or re-steam when you’re ready to enjoy.

Bamboo Steamer Basket

To properly steam your dumplings, you’ll need a bamboo steamer rack 1 inch smaller than your pan. I heated water in a wide brim deep frying pan and fit my bamboo steamer on top. You will need to find a steamer that matches your specific pan – it should NOT reach the water in your pan or it’ll burn. Typically bamboo steamer racks are either 8 or 10 inches, so make sure to use a pan that is either 9 or 11 inches. Here’s exactly what I used:

Sustainable and Healthy “Crab”

This recipe requires artichoke hearts and corn, both of which you can purchase canned for convenience. To get the look and taste of “crab” you’ll be mixing the artichoke hearts and corn with vegan cream cheese, old bay seasoning, and raw carrots. Here are a few of my favorite vegan cream cheese brands:

Miyokos Cream Cheese amazon
$9Miyokos Cream Cheese

Violife Cream Cheese amazon
$5Violife Cream Cheese

To get the “crab” consistency, you will need a food processor. Be careful not to overblend, the mixture should be rough. I have a Hamilton Beach food processor which I love and has lasted me a few years without issue. If you’re looking for a pricier option, your best bet is a Cuisinart food processor.

It’s no secret that our environment is in danger, especially our oceans. If you have the means to reduce your fish intake and opt for sustainable alternatives like this one, you will be playing a bigger role than you think in protecting the planet and future generations. Check out the following documentaries to learn more about the current state of our oceans and why it’s important to pay attention and help where we can:

  • Chasing Coral.
  • A Plastic Ocean.

Dumpling Wrappers

For the sake of convenience, I purchased premade dumpling wrappers. They’re not as healthy as homemade dumpling wrappers and I have yet to find a gluten-free option, but they are incredibly convenient. You can find them in most major grocery stores, in your local Asian market, or on Amazon. If you’re gluten-free, check out this gluten-free dumpling wrapper recipe by Ela Vegan to try out.

If you are planning on making the dough for your dumplings rather than purchasing premade wrappers, I recommend purchasing a dumpling maker.

Steamed Crab Dumplings

Vegan Steamed Crab Dumplings made from artichoke hearts and veggies.

Ingredients

  • 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed well
  • 1 can corn, drained and rinsed well
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese
  • 1 tsp old bay seasoning can sub for paprika
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 pack premade dumpling wrappers
  • sweet chili sauce dipping sauce

Instructions

  • Drain and rinse a can of artichoke hearts and a can of corn. Make sure to rinse them well to fully remove the brine. Add your rinsed artichoke hearts and corn to a food processor.
  • Roughly chop 1 large carrot then add into the food processor along with the vegan cream cheese, old bay seasoning (or paprika), and sea salt.
  • Pulse the food processor a few times making sure not to overblend. The mixture should be roughly chopped.
  • Next prepare your dumpling station – start heating water in your frying pan with a bamboo steamer rack on top. Lay out your dumpling wrappers on a cutting board. Fill a small dish with water.
  • Use your finger to add a thin layer of water to the edges of your dumpling wrapper. Fill each dumpling with a small amount of the mixture. After doing a few you will be able to gage how much filling fits into each dumpling. Fold mixture in half and press the edges together to stick. Make sure to press the filling inwards to avoid spillage.
  • The water should be lightly boiling in your frying pan. Add parchment paper to your bamboo steamer rack (if you don’t have it’s not a big deal, it’s to help avoid the dumplings getting stuck to the tray) and arrange the dumplings on your steamer rack. Make sure they’re not too crowded before closing the lid.
  • Let the dumplings steam for about 12-15 minutes. Use chopsticks to gently remove the dumplings from your tray. Repeat until you have used all of the mixture.
  • Add whatever dumplings you don’t want to a reusable bag and pop in your freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy them, you can either pop them in your air fryer or oven or re-steam them.
  • Enjoy with sweet chili sauce.
