Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor, pulse 1 cup shelled edamame beans, 1/2 cup finely chopped shiitake mushrooms, and 2 thinly sliced green onions until coarsely chopped but not pureed.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Place 1 wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon 1 tsp of the filling into the center. Moisten edges with water and fold to seal into a half-moon shape, pressing edges firmly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Step 4: Arrange dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, making sure they don’t touch. Steam over boiling water for 6-8 minutes until wrappers are translucent and filling is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 tsp sesame oil to create the dipping sauce.
  6. Step 6: Serve steamed dumplings hot with the ginger-sesame dipping sauce on the side for dipping.

How do I store leftover Steamed Edamame Dumplings with Ginger-Sesame Dipping Sauce?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep edamame beans, shelled from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Steamed Edamame Dumplings with Ginger-Sesame Dipping Sauce?

How do I scale Steamed Edamame Dumplings with Ginger-Sesame Dipping Sauce for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
