- 5 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup cabbage of choice (napa, shredded blend) i used one from trader joe’s
- 1 cup of kale
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- dipping sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/8 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp sesame oil

Preparation
Begin by preparing the dumpling dough
Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix until you get a shaggy dough
Mix with chopsticks or a spoon, the dough will be hot since the water is boiling
Once the dough cannot be combined in the bowl anymore, flour your surface and pour dough out onto it
Using your hands knead the dough for about 10 minutes
Until you are able to form a smooth ball
This dough is very tough and requires some extra love and attention
Then we are going to take the dough ball cut it into 2 halves
Form those halves into a bagel shape
Cover them and set aside for 20 minutes
While those rest take all of your vegetables and tofu and cut them up
I made everything very small and bite size you don’t want anything to be too big
In a pan on medium heat add in the sesame oil, allow to heat up and then add in vegetables and tofu
Add soy sauce and ginger powder and mix around
Cook for about 5-10 minutes until everything is wilted, tofu is slightly browned and carrots are softened
When ready take the “bagel” and cut in half
Line the two log shapes up and cut into 6 pieces
Then line up 3 and 3 so you will now have 4 rows of 3
Cut those in half one more time resulting in 24 dough cubes
If your cube seems very small feel free to combine two of them
Repeat with the other “bagel
Once you have all your cubes set them to the side and cover to prevent them from drying out
