Ingredients
  

For the Dumplings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup finely chopped veggies (carrots, bell peppers, green onions)
  • 1/2 cup cooked protein (ground chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
For the Peanut Sauce
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Water (adjust for desired consistency)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the water and knead until a smooth dough forms.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the finely chopped veggies and cooked protein. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a flat disc. Place a spoonful of the filling into the center and fold the dough over to seal it.
Baking
  1. Arrange the dumplings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush lightly with oil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic. Gradually add water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Serving
  1. Remove the dumplings from the oven, serve them warm with peanut sauce drizzled on top.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with fillings based on what you have. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Dumplings can also be frozen before baking.
