I love a good challenge. So when my coworker/friend Darci challenged me to make a gluten free vegan version of the Kimchi Dumplings from the new Robin Asbell book,
The New Vegetarian, I couldn't say no. Plus, it's kimchi inside of a dumpling. Come on- It's got to be amazing.
I did put it off for a week, though. I just figured that they're fall apart and be a real pain in the rear. But then I found
this GF vegan dumpling dough recipe from Jill Elise over at
Hey, that tastes good! It works! And it tastes good! And it wasn't any more of a pain than making wheat-based dumplings! Success!
The dough was surprisingly easy to work with- as long as it stays moist and you flour the crap out of your counter top and rolling pin. Look how pretty these are!
Before steaming
Robin's filling recipe was really awesome- I know cooking the kimchi kills all the good bacteria in it, but it's worth sacrificing some of your fermented cabbage for these little dumplings! I think I liked them best just steamed, but Mike really liked them best pan-fried. Either way, we dipped them in a tamari/rice vinegar/sesame oil/chili garlic sauce/ginger concoction and they rocked.

your gluten-free dumplings look awesome, Liz! and kimchi for a filling sounds glorious! i loooove me some dumplings, but haven't had any since going gluten-free back in june. i've gotta check out the dumpling recipe - and that's great to know that they didn't require much more than regular dumplings do. hooray!
I WANT THESE! I LOVE pot stickers and these look just perfect, need to make asap!
Kimchi in a dumpling; how amazing is that? I make my own kimchi, too, so can't wait to try it in this recipe. Thanks for this.
Wow, gluten free dumplings! They look fantastic!
