Sriracha Veggie Dumplings
If you haven't been to Dumpling Time in San Francisco, you really do need to go! It's definitely not the most vegetarian-friendly place, but the small number of veg options they do have are outstanding! I have adapted a few of their menu items to my taste AKA made them more spicy for all of you to try! These dumplings have all of the ingredients in the original dish, but I also added two types of mushrooms to make the texture more meaty in nature. Trust me even if you're not the biggest mushroom lover, you will be able to eat so many of these in one sitting. ⏱️ Total Time: 50 minutes
Chef's Notes
- Make sure the plate you steam the dumplings on can fit into a pot with boiling water. I used a pretty small plate, and steamed the dumplings in batches. You can always steam in any method you prefer!
- You can quickly pan fry the dumplings in sesame oil, soy sauce, and sriracha after steaming them to give them a more crispy texture.
