    List of Ingredients




    8 oz firm tofu
    1 cup mung bean sprouts
    4 medium scallion(s), white and green parts
    2 large carrot(s), peeled and grated
    1 large garlic clove(s), minced
    1 pieces ginger root, 1-inch, minced
    3 Tbsp soy sauce
    24 pieces wonton wrapper(s)
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    2 tsp rice wine vinegar
    1/2 tsp sesame oil
    1/2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
    2 Tbsp dry mustard
    1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
    1/4 tsp table salt
    2 Tbsp water
    2 tsp sesame oil

    Recipe



    Mash tofu in a bowl. Chop bean sprouts and green parts of scallions and add to tofu. Add carrots, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly.

    To stuff dumplings: Using a pastry brush and cool water, moisten the edges of a dumpling skin. Place a spoonful of the tofu mixture in center of skin and fold and seal edges closed. Repeat until all filling is used; set aside.

    To make Soy Dipping Sauce: Mince white parts of scallions and mix with 1/4 cup soy sauce, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds.

    To make Sweet Mustard Dipping Sauce: Mix dry mustard, sugar and salt. Add water and 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil and blend well.

    Heat water in bottom of a steamer. If using a bamboo steamer, place dumplings directly in the steamer. If using a metal steamer, spray steamer with cooking spray so dumplings won't stick. Steam dumplings until they turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Serve with two dipping sauces. Yields 1 dumpling per serving with choice of sauce.

    NOTE: These are a perfect treat for the Chinese New Year! If you want to make them in advance, stuff them ahead of time and freeze for several days. Do not thaw the dumplings before cooking; just place them directly in the steamer.
