Livin' on the Vedge Dumplings
These vegan dumplings are bursting with flavor! Each bite features the earthy richness of shiitake mushrooms and fresh napa cabbage, spiced up with tangy scallions and kick of Chinese chili crisp.
The recipe originated at Laoban’s traditionally-inspired Chinese dumpling shop in Washington, D.C. Now, you can enjoy these handmade, craveworthy dumplings at home in minutes. Simply boil, pan-fry, or steam to enjoy!
How To Prepare Dumplings
- Steamed Bring water to a rolling boil. Line steamer with parchment paper or oil. Place dumplings on steamer, cover, and steam for 12 mins (9 mins for soup dumplings).
- Boiled Bring water to a rolling boil. Add dumplings to water and boil for 8 mins, or till dumplings bob to top. (Not recommended for soup dumplings).
- Pan-Fried 1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in pan over medium-high heat and place dumplings in pan. 2. Add enough water to cover dumplings halfway up, cover, and cook for ~5 mins (3 mins for soup dumplings). 3. Remove cover and keep cooking till water evaporates & bottoms are brown, about 5 mins (3 mins for soup dumplings).

Loved these dumplings! I appreciate that they were so convenient to make on a weeknight....added them to ramen and they were delightful. We're eating primarily vegetarian right now but I would try the ginger chicken next time. A hit in our house, for sure.

We tried the Livin’ on the Vedge Dumplings as they are vegan and fits our lifestyle. I thought these were very good. A tad to spicy for hubby but I really enjoyed them. I followed the directions to boil them but 2 of them all the stuffing came out in the pot which was a bummer but overall I really thought they were tasty and would buy them again

I absolutely love these dumplings! I made chicken and dumpling meal and my family loved them, too, and want more! My kids want me to buy them weekly!

I loved that they had a vegetarian option because I feel like most frozen dumpling brands don't. These were tasty but kind of simple - mostly cabbage, mushrooms and bok choy. The bag is kind of small and only gives about three servings. I would buy these again for weeknights when you are too tired to cook.

I enjoyed the veggie dumplings overall but had a hard time getting them cooked to the correct texture - I tried frying on the stove and they got too crispy and then I tried the air fryer and they weren't crispy enough! Overall the flavor was there though.
