 1/4 cup red pepper, finely chopped
 1/4 cup shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped

 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
 1/2 lime, juiced
 1 teaspoon fish sauce
 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
 pinch of black pepper
1

Finely chop all the vegetables and tofu. Each ingredient should be small so you can taste all of them in each dumpling. Place into a bowl and combine well with the rest of the filling ingredients.

2

Have a sheet pan handy. Place a few wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Cover the ones you are not using a damp towel. With your finger, wet the edges of the wonton wrappers.

3

Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the middle of each wrapper. Fold over to make a packet & seal well. Place the filled dumplings on the baking sheet and cover with damp paper towels until ready to steam.

4

Spray the inside of your steamer with cooking spray. Steam dumplings in a single layer for about 6 minutes, or until they taste done to you. Continue to do this for the rest of the wrappers and filling.

5

For the sauce: Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

6

Serve hot dumplings with sauce, top with more scallions and fresh cilantro.

7

** To make these vegan, omit the fish sauce.
