Dumplings

Method

Dumpling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, crumble the firm tofu with your hands. Add the chopped Swiss chard, minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Dumplings

    Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the tofu filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Repeat this process until all filling is used.

Cooking the Dumplings

  1. 3

    Grill the Dumplings

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the dumplings on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Squash Brodo Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and carrot, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 5

    Add Squash and Broth

    Add the cubed butternut squash to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

  3. 6

    Blend the Brodo

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
