Easy-to-make Pressure Cooker Asian Steamed Dumplings filled with a colorful blend of shiitake mushrooms, red and green cabbage, and shredded carrots in a soy ginger sauce.

Provided by Barbara Schieving

Categories     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbsp (15 ml) oil (or *dry sauté or add a little water/vegetable broth)
1 cup (70 g) minced shiitake mushrooms (or substitute white mushrooms)
1½ cups (105 g) minced cabbage
½ cup (55 g) shredded carrot
2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 ml) rice wine vinegar
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
12 round vegan dumpling wrappers

Steps:

  • For the sauté, use the sauté setting over normal, or do the sauté in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Heat the oil or broth and add the mushrooms once hot. Sauté until the mushrooms release their juices, then add the cabbage, carrot, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and sauté until the mixture is dry.
  • Remove the liner from the Instant Pot and set on the stove or a pot holder. Mix in the ginger and sesame oil (if using).
  • Cut out a round piece of parchment paper to fit inside a 6- or 8-inch (15-or 20-cm) bamboo steamer. You will be able to fit all 12 dumplings in one level of the 8-inch (20-cm) one. No bamboo steamer? Just use your vegetable steamer lightly coated with oil inside your Instant Pot instead.
  • Get a small bowl of water and set it up next to a cutting board to work on.
  • Place a wrapper on the cutting board and spread water around the edge with your fingertip. Add 1 tablespoon (15 g) filling to the middle of the wrapper and fold in half, matching the edges. Press together. You can stop here or you can grab it by the middle of the sealed part and fold the dough in two places on either side. Then place in the steamer with the pleated side up.
  • Put the top on your bamboo steamer (if using) and add 1½ cups (355 ml) water and your rack to your Instant Pot. Then lower the steamer into the pot.
  • Put the lid on and make sure that the steam release handle is sealed. Select the steam setting and lower the time to 7 minutes.
  • Use a quick pressure release to release the pressure.

Tips:

  • To ensure your dumplings cook evenly, make sure they are all about the same size and shape.
  • Don't overcrowd the steamer basket. If you do, the dumplings won't cook evenly.
  • Add a small amount of water or broth to the bottom of the pressure cooker. This will help create steam and prevent the dumplings from sticking.
  • Cook the dumplings according to the recipe's instructions. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Steamed dumplings are a healthy and delicious meal that can be easily made in a pressure cooker. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy this classic dish in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give steamed dumplings a try!
