Ingredients
  • 3 Leeks (Halved and Sliced Thin, then soaked)
  • 2 Packages Tempeh (Crumbled)
  • 2 Heads Black Garlic (Peeled and Chopped)
  • 1 Thai Chili (Seeds Removed and Minced)
  • 3 Green Onions (Chopped)
  • Chives (Chopped)
  • Dumpling wrappers
Instructions
  1. Wash and prepare all fresh produce. After slicing the leeks soak them in water, stirring occasionally to remove dirt particles that can get caught between the layers. Drain and rinse.
  2. Caramelize the leeks. In a large skillet, add 2 Tbsp oil and the sliced leek. Over medium heat stirring occasionally, cook the leeks until they have turned a light brown with some dark brown pieces. Approx. 15 minutes.
  3. Add the crumbled tempeh, black garlic and Thai chili. Cook stirring frequently until well incorporated. Approx. 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the dumpling filling from the heat and transfer it to a large bowl. Add most of the green onion and chives to the filling and stir to combine. Save the rest for garnish.
  5. Making one dumpling at a time, lightly moisten on side of the dumpling wrapper and spoon a small amount of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
  6. Using clean hands pinch four corners into the wrapper, creating a small basket. (See picture). Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and filling.
  7. Steam the dumplings in a steamer for 5-6 minutes.
  8. Garnish with the remaining green onion and chives and serve.
  9. Enjoy!
