Organic Vegetarian Dumplings

Vegetarian Dumplings

Sometimes it’s really good to take a break from eating meat and explore the vegetarian options. Mushrooms are a great substitute for meat with their fibre and earthy, umami flavours. Carrot, spinach, onions and garlic take you well on the way to eating your healthy ‘5-a day’ veggies adding their carotenoid, vitamin K and sulphur rich phytonutrients.

These dumplings contain the beneficial allium family with their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and anti-platelet effects which help improve cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease and diabetes, but they are not suitable for Jains, Pure Land Buddhists and Vaishnavites who do not cook with rajasic or tamasic foods.

The flavour is further improved with aromatic toasted sesame oil and fermented black bean sauce. For dipping sauces use our chilli oil or crushed garlic added to the fermented black bean sauce.
