Some vegan vegetable dumplings list about 6 grams of plant-based protein per serving.

They come as fresh (never-frozen) trays and frozen varieties—including mini wontons and steamed dumplings. Textures range from crispy when pan-fried to silky when steamed or microwaved.

Common methods are pan-frying, steaming, boiling and microwaving. Many frozen varieties recommend pan-frying for about 5 minutes; others note a silky texture when steamed or microwaved.
