1 Pack Moving Mountains Mince
25 vegan dumpling skins (10 x 10 cm)
½ tbsp vegetable oil (plus extra to fry)
1 tbsp grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 spring onions, finely chopped

2tbsp soy sauce
3tbsp rice vinegar
2tbsp sesame oil

- First heat 1/2tbsp vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the plant-based mince as per pack instructions. 3 minutes before its cooked, add the ginger, garlic, spring onions and five spice. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, then stir through the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar and hoisin sauce. Remove the mince from the heat and set aside in a bowl to cool completely.
- Once your mixture is cool enough to handle, make your dumplings. Put 1/2tbsp mince mixture into the centre of a dumpling skin. Use a finger to dampen the edge with some water and then pleat the dumpling pastry to seal (simple method: fold over the skin and make sure edge is sealed).
- Next, cook your dumplings. Heat 1/2tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan (with matching lid) and add up to 10 dumplings. Fry for 2 ½ minutes, then add 2tbsp water to the pan and cover with a lid, to steam. Continue to cook for another 2 ½ minutes, then remove from the pan.
- Add more oil to the pan, if necessary, then continue to cook the remaining dumplings.
- Finally, make your dipping sauce by mixing all the ingredients and serve with the steaming hot dumplings. Enjoy!
