Whenever I go to an Asian food restaurant and they have dumplings or potsickers on the menu, I always order them. They’re just so yummy and I love dipping them in the sauce that comes with them. However, I always feel bad for my vegetarian friends (or sister who is vegetarian) who cannot enjoy them, because they’re always filled with meat.

Ingredients used in dumpling stir fry

Well, I just discovered the most amazing vegetarian dumplings ever! As I was buying tofu to make my 5 ingredient vegetarian sushi bowls (a quick lunch I make ALL the time) these tofu dumplings caught my eye. When I picked them up, I was not surprised that they are made by my favorite tofu product company: Nasoya Tofu.

I got them to try, and you guys: these vegetarian tofu dumplings are incredible!

Seriously, the first time I made them I just cooked them in a pan with a little oil and then dipped them in some soy sauce. And that’s it – I ate that as an entire meal. They’re addictively good!

What ingredients do you need to make this dumpling stir fry?

  • Green beans
  • Carrots
  • Vegetable oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Hoisin sauce
  • Brown sugar
  • Water
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Dumplings (can be tofu/vegetarian or any kind of dumplings work!)

This one pan vegetarian dumpling stir fry comes together in a flash. All you do is cook some green beans and carrots in a pan, add in the dumplings and a stir fry sauce and in under 30 minutes you have yourself a delicious dinner.

Best of all, cleanup is a breeze because everything cooks in one pan – and it’s not one of those things where you take ingredients out of the dish to rest while you cook something else in the pan and then add it back. Nope, it’s all in one pan, you add ingredients as you go.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. green beans ends trimmed
  • 3-4 carrots medium-large and sliced

    I would be more impressed if you made the dumplings and the sauce..

    Your idea of cooking is like my daughters – buy pre made stuff at the supermarket, combine it, call it a ‘recipe’.

      The sauce is homemade in this recipe! And yes, my idea of cooking is definitely more like your daughters, I wish I had the time to homemade dumplings, but sadly I do not, so I focus on fast and easy recipes 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!!

        Pay no attention to rude, pretentious people! I for one love this recipe…and yes, it’s a recipe! Just because it’s not all made from scratch doesn’t make it any less of a recipe. This is such a tasty vegetarian meal and super easy, I have it bookmarked and love throwing it together once in a while for something healthy but has “meat” to it.

    This dish was beautiful to look at and easy to make. But holy cow was it salty! I couldn’t finish my serving. My husband did finish his but commented on how salty it was (something he rarely does). I used reduced sodium soy, but the dumplings themselves were full of sodium and so is the horizon. And on top of that, the recipe called for added salt. Not needed. Please find a way to reduce the salt in this recipe and it will be delicious!
