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.
