Garlic Chive Dumplings

My first garlic chives from our garden this year! They survived through winter and came out so beautifully!
I want to make salads, and dumplings with these precious garlic chives.  It is so simple and easy to make it.  It tastes fantastic!

Ingredients:

1 dumpling wrappers (round or square)
Warm Water (or egg white)

For filling
1/2 of the tofu package (extra firm, or firm)
2 cups of cut garlic chives
1/2 TVP (Texture Vegetable Protein) - optional
1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

For dipping Sauce:

2 teaspoons Bragg Aminos (soy sauce alternative)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons water

Directions:

Wash garlic chives and cut into 1/4 inches.  Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine tofu and TVP then mash it together until tofu is fine grain.

Combine rest of the filling ingredients (garlic chives, salt, pepper, and sesame oil) to the mashed tofu mixture.

Mix well and combine all together.

Place a 1/2 teaspoon of the filling in the middle of the wonton wrapper and seal it tight into whatever shape you want to make.

I usually make it into a half moon shape or square.....there are many different kinds of shapes you can make with them if you'd like to have some fun with it!

Boil it in water.
steam it.
or fry it.
Make it into a dumpling soup (some may call wonton soup), it's so great for cold winter days!
