[@marystestkitchen]

Yay! Thanks for coming over :-)

[@TheDiscountVegan]

[@marystestkitchen]

Thanks

[@FF-pn7fx]

Wow, you are the best food youtuber ever! So professional! You should have millions is subscribers!

[@marystestkitchen]

Maybe one day! Thank you so much :-)

[@GreenLifeInDublin]

Mary! Just when I thought I couldn't admire you more, I hear you are developing GF recipe for dumplings! 💕 Thanks for that in advance, I don't know if you heard my silent prayer or what, but let's just say I can't wait to see that video 🙏 Have a great day 🌸

[@marystestkitchen]

aww I do think of my gf friends

[@Anikoxx]

I think the wheat starch is gluten free.. even though it has the word wheat in it I think most of the gluten it out of it. Have a Google.

[@aliciaseecharan]

This was a magazine recipe like over 10 years ago. I've made them with tofu-water chestnuts-green onions-garlic-ginger filling in wonton wrappers. Light soy sauce mixed with sesame oil, chili flakes and more green onions for dipping sauce. I'm haven't seen vegan dim sum around SoCal. Nice video.

[@marystestkitchen]

That's nice. Thanks! I'm 100% sure you can get vegan dim sum in SoCal though. Especially in LA.

[@madelinestrang7063]

omg thank u beautiful angels for this collab!!!

[@marystestkitchen]

haha you're welcome

[@BleachH2F]

I've been watching your videos for years and absolutely love all of your recipes! You are so creative and make the recipes so easy to follow! Sending lots of vegan love!

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you so much, Danielle!!

[@allankhad1030]

Great recipe, great personality. :)

[@lesmercredis]

Came here from Lisa's video... Both of your recipes look so good!!! And the best part is that they both look so easy, but are clearly so rewarding! 😊

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you so much!!

[@justingooding647]

OMG these looks Aaaamazing!! And I love The Viet Vegan's mung bean dumplings too, I adore your channels!

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you! :-)

[@Jemmz_heares]

I made these tonight, soooo good! I messed up the dough a little bit so my wrapping ended up being shocking, and some were too thick.. didn’t matter though. They were so delicious I ended up scoffing the batch. Instead of your filling I had grated plain tofu, cooked with garlic, spring onion, leek, chestnut mushroom, shiitake mushroom, napa cabbage and chives. And some sugar and mushroom soy sauce. Seriously, with some Chinese black vinegar these were bloody amazing.

[@bondpaz]

These look amazing!!!❤❤❤❤ yum!!!

[@marystestkitchen]

thanks! I hope you get to try them sometime :-)

[@diresalope]

Oh goodness, why have I never thought to use silicon baking mats as a stick-free surface?! These look delicious, Lisa's look delicious, and I'm slooowly amassing a freezer full of yummy dumplings worthy of a vegan feast :)

[@marystestkitchen]

YEssss dumpling feasts are the best feasts :-)

[@GlowySweetFabulous]

Yum!!! OMG looks like a lot work but so worth it. 😍

[@marystestkitchen]

+GlowySweetFabulous lol yeah, dumplings demand a lot. But they give a lot too ;-)

[@IzzyNChrist]

I have never tried dumplings before, this video has inspired me to be adventurous and experiment :)

[@munajedski]

It took me a minute to figure out who your voice reminds me of...Mary Alice from Desperate Housewives! Anyway, so many great ideas. This looks amazing 😊

[@marystestkitchen]

ahahah I used to love that show. So silly :-) Thanks so much for watching

[@Thevietvegan]

MARY YOU ARE MY FAAAAVVEEE

[@marystestkitchen]

You're most welcome! Thanks for collabing with ME!

[@Thevietvegan]

Iono i just get the only one that's available XD Just gotta rinse em

[@marystestkitchen]

Maybe one day, I'll get brave and try rinsing them. I've only had them already prepared so maybe it's the restaurants who are WRONG. maybe :-)

[@reachtrita]

Mary's Test Kitchen // Vegan Cooking Lol, swamp! My hubby loves the PICKLED bamboo shoot and it smells like public toilet bowl!! The smell could attack you from across the room!

[@tbmcnation]

lol watching you two discuss bamboo shoots is cute

[@unveganomas2837]

Que voz tan agradable tienes ...que lindo canal ☺

[@marystestkitchen]

¡muchas gracias!

[@notoestoseehere]

I need to make these!

[@marystestkitchen]

+Kat Lagmay yesssss! :-)

[@nobody8-D]

Mary, you are a magician! Love your channel! Have you by anychance tried making a vegan keto dumpling?

[@marystestkitchen]

There's already a few traditionally low carb "dumplings" aka soy curd wrapped and cabbage wrapped dumplings. But I have not perfected a keto dough wrapped dumpling yet. I'm still in the failing over and over stage of development 😂

[@nobody8-D]

@@marystestkitchen 🤭 。。well if anyone can crack it, it'll be you!

[@reachtrita]

Looks divine!!! Will definitely try this out! :D The wrapper looks so easy to make.

[@marystestkitchen]

Yes! It's not too difficult. :-)

[@vaniar.1583]

Amazing recipe!The secret is to leave the center of the wrappers thicker than the edges so they won't break and the edges won't be too chewy.

[@marystestkitchen]

+Vania Rensi Ah, I forgot to mention that. Thanks you!

[@vaniar.1583]

🤗

[@struong1771]

Yum! I crave dim sum

[@marystestkitchen]

+Lotus Vegan me 💯 yes to vegan dimsum always ;-)

[@ima7333]

Happy Chinese New Year, Mary! I love hot oil on my ha gow, so good. I usually use the big abalone mushroom or eringy (?) mushroom available in japanese/korean market to stand in for the shrimp i could no longer eat after my cancer surgery. Those shrooms can really soak up lots of bold flavor not having any flavor of its own. Do try them when you can find them. Make your own hot oil, Mary. It’s easy and not that hand taxing. I like mine w/ lots of garlic.

[@marystestkitchen]

Oh yeah, homemade hot chili oil! I love it :-)

[@foodiedna126]

Now I understand why my dumplings never have that translucent quality, recipes never call for wheat starch. Thanks for the tip!

[@AussieAngeS]

Your channel is s awesome Mary.

[@Ella.L.]

FitAngie I 100% agree!

[@marystestkitchen]

Thanks, hun!

[@tbmcnation]

oh my god this looks so DELICIOUS

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you!

[@vimalprakashshukla418]

Lovely 😁

[@marystestkitchen]

+vimal prakash Shukla thank you! 💕 💕 💕

[@garya3056]

Lisa rocks, too!

[@BPEBM]

I love your commentary! Hilarious! 😍😂

[@maximuscoolman]

Hi Mary, could you recommend a vegan Chinese recipe book? Are there any good ones?

[@marystestkitchen]

Sorry, no. The ones I've tried out are not good at all. They were written in English. But I bet there are good vegan Chinese cookbooks written in Chinese but first I've got to learn to read Chinese ;-)

[@normlor8109]

great video as I have made dumplings most of my life but have an all vegan meal to do in June and desperately looking for ideas for non meat dumplings. I will not attempt to make this dough but will have to find "thin" egg roll wrappers as those round wonton wrappers from wong wing here in Canada are WAY too small

[@marystestkitchen]

If you get a good selection of Wing Wong, try looking for the wonton "covers" instead -- they are square shaped. Or try my recipe for regular vegan dumpling wrappers (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppm8qYGbYrWhp68). They're pretty easy to make. Either way, good luck!

[@VixenAurora]

These look great! :D

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you!

[@MadalinaZbranca]

I love this recipe! And this collab! You're awesome and your recipes look really tasty! I don't know why broccoli sound good for a filing... And I totally agree with you! A kitchen scale is way better than using cups to measure food! This is what I'm doing every time and I prefer to weigh my ingredients every time I'm cooking (or creating) something :)

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you, Madalina!!

[@philia9351]

Please please please try to recreate the classic dim sum custard buns or egg tarts(and perhaps make them healthier? Haha)!

[@marystestkitchen]

:-) thanks for the request

[@TallTeenTurtle]

this looks so amazing! Please let us know if you work out a good gluten free wrapper, although if you do i have a feeling I will eat just that forever.

[@marystestkitchen]

;-) I will, of course

[@z6886]

Yum, yum, yum 😋

[@marystestkitchen]

😋

[@erikaz931]

Love your channel! You mentioned vegan shrimp.....where can you find that at? Also, would you be willing to make a vegan shrimp shumai?

[@marystestkitchen]

+Erika Z I've found vegan shrimp at health food stores (where vegan faux meat products are often sold) and T&t (an Asian supermarket). In the US, there I are a couple paces you can order from. Just google vegan shrimp :-) And yes. I'm working on siu mai. :-)

[@erikaz931]

Mary's Test Kitchen // Vegan....Awesome thanks so much! :)

[@WeebHutJr]

Sorry if you’ve done this already, but I’d love to see a recipe for the pan fried turnip cake you can get at dim sum, and veganized sticky rice in bamboo leaves!!

[@marystestkitchen]

Here are the Chinese Turnip Cakes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGaVkoJti6mtorM My bf wants me to make the sticky rice in bamboo leaves too! so it's definitely on the list :-)

[@starhill6792]

Aaaa I wish to find a vegan dim sum restaurant Dim sum is so gooood.

[@starhill6792]

&& I have to go all the way to Sacramento to find a good asian market.

[@marystestkitchen]

+Star Shine Yes me too! Calgary has one place for vegan dimsum on weekends though, so I am lucky.

[@k.j.randomartist4362]

I wish I had an Asian supermarket closer to where I live, the closest one is a 3+ hours drive away, so I could make these right away cause they look freaking delicious. Also I've been wondering if there's any traditional dumplings that have black sesame seed paste as a filling and if so could you make some?XD

[@marystestkitchen]

+K.J./ Random Artist Yeah! Tong yuan aka sweet rice dumplings are often made with sesame paste. There's a video in my channel where I used red bean paste but you can use same paste too.

[@k.j.randomartist4362]

Mary's Test Kitchen // Vegan Cooking Thanks! I'll be sure to try them out soon😄

[@tututu6570]

好好看~

[@marystestkitchen]

谢谢 :-)

[@Olcia27]

I'm waiting for the gluten free version just because I have no idea where to get wheat starch but I already have one bag of tapioca on hand.

[@marystestkitchen]

lol ok. I'm working on it. btw, wheat starch can be found at Asian grocery stores or online.

[@krysdekel]

I can't wait for you to open a restaurant.

[@marystestkitchen]

lol ;-)

[@Ella.L.]

Looks so yummy; thanks for the recipe (as always)! I've never cooked or eaten these kind of dumplings (i know - i'm definetly missing out on something, haha!), so i'm pretty interested to try them... i'd probably fill them with minced soy meat, mushrooms, onions, some kind of green like spinach, bok choy or chard and spice it up with some garlic, ginger and pepper :-)

[@marystestkitchen]

Yum, that sounds great, Ella!

[@Ella.L.]

:)

[@conniehuynh5531]

Where is your cookbook?!?! Please write one

[@marystestkitchen]

:-) it's still forming itself in my imagination. Ideas welcome :-)

[@sarahreagan8841]

Mary, you must have psychic abilities because how did you know I was craving dim sum? These look yum. I have a couple of ideas/requests cheong fun and I'm not sure of the name but it's this steamed cake that is oh so delicious. Thank you for all the lovely videos. As a newer vegan, your videos are a serious comfort/help when I'm craving my old faves. Especially all the delicious Asian dishes. Have a wonderful Sunday and a sunny week ahead! (^v^)/

[@marystestkitchen]

Thanks for the suggestions, Sarah! As for the steamed cake,...is it white and full of holes and kinda spongy? If yes, I'm working on it. :-D

[@pjchristiaens]

Soup Dumplings!

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you :-) Working on it ;-)

[@madafokerhjy]

awww!!! vegan虾饺！！i need vegan 烧卖 RN

[@marystestkitchen]

working on it :-)

[@AngieLilcc]

OMG! You are genius! I love Har Gow too :P

[@marystestkitchen]

You're too kind, Angie!

[@vnero323]

Where can I find smoked tofu? I went to my local Asian market, which happens to be a pretty big one, and they had no idea what I was talking about. Is it also called something else?

[@marystestkitchen]

I buy it from Superstore, Safeway and other major supermarkets in Canada. I think it's a product that is targeted to a Western market. If you're in the US, I'd try Whole foods and other health food stores like that.

[@elizabethshaw734]

Isn't Lisa a riot!? I just love her! And I am a dumpling freak and I look like one I have fangs and little horns! Lol :-) can you see me teaching my Somali caregiver how to make Oriental dumplings? Hahaha! I just almost had to do a dance to get her to understand what green onions scallions with spring onions meant. I want to make cabbage soup and she's at the store now. Lol :-) I will of course she and my tofu scrambled eggs I'm just looking for my milk measurement it's like a little under or a little over you start with a half a cup and it can be a little less or exact or a little more. I will write it out properly.

[@sunnypepper4777]

Omg so much work! Can i just buy yours frozen ;)

[@marystestkitchen]

haha :p

[@aa_955]

"we'll work with one ball at a time" 😂😅

[@marystestkitchen]

Better than two at a time ;-)

[@lisa.kitahara]

i LOVE DUMPLINGS but so lazy to make them 😭

[@marystestkitchen]

Haha I feel you. If I wasn't collabing, I don't know if I would have found the motivation!

[@kae4054]

Where do I find vegan shrimp?

[@marystestkitchen]

Online and health food markets that sell other vegan faux meat products.

[@asianannoying7895]

wo ai ni su de xia jiao hen hao chiiii

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

The only way I will ever have the patients to make these is buy buying those wrappers already prepared. Is there such a thing?

[@marystestkitchen]

I've never seen this kind for sale.

[@the1stcalling]

Is veganizing chicken feet possible? I feel like that would be suuuuper hard!!!

[@marystestkitchen]

Yeah, I'd have to get really creative! The sauce is easy to veganize though...hmm... you've got me thinking, Alberto! Thank you!

[@tashina505]

Please try and veganize fish. I've been craving fish lately

[@Ella.L.]

Plant based I second that!

[@supapowas777]

Check out avant-garde vegans channel he has a few vegan fish dishes

[@marystestkitchen]

I would. Except Gardien makes the best vegan fish ever ever ever so.....

[@EMILYYC773]

I'm so jealous of you Canadians that can buy smoked tofu. I've found it nowhere and I'm in the Chicagoland area

[@marystestkitchen]

Whole foods? Trader Joe's? I swear I've seen smoked tofu in American grocery hauls...

[@johnnyli4702]

when you get your hands on vegan shrimp again, can you make a separate video? I'm not sure how much of this carries over...

[@marystestkitchen]

Yes :-) I plan to when the gluten-free wrappers are ready.

[@Bwahahaaa]

Is this Momo's?

[@marystestkitchen]

I think momos are South Asian versions of dumplings/steamed buns...so sort of. These are a vegan version of Chinese Crystal Shrimp Dumplings.

[@Bwahahaaa]

@@marystestkitchen Ok thanks for replying! You should try them too. They are served with garlic red Chilli sauce .

[@babsinny]

Will wait for gluten free... .😋

[@marystestkitchen]

okie dokie :-)

I thought it said hair grow video

[@marystestkitchen]

mmm :-) yesss

[@malingpalsu]

Chinese Indonesian vegan here!

[@marystestkitchen]

Yay!!!

[@aprillomina8232]

I thought wheat starch was gf?

[@marystestkitchen]

For people who are really sensitive, wheat starch may still have enough traces of gluten to cause problems

[@roloqween]

Bamboo shoots taste like not sweet pineapple. Not good

[@marystestkitchen]

I'm sure some can taste good. Real fresh ones... I'm guessing because so many people around the world love them. But the canned ones we get in Canada...oh no no no no no

[@plantbased5639]

Wish this didn't have mushroom 🤢

[@marystestkitchen]

You don't need to add mushroom sauce if you don't want to :-) Try hoisin instead.

[@plantbased5639]

Mary's Test Kitchen // Vegan Cooking thank you for the tip!! Can vegan Worcestershire sauce work too?

[@marystestkitchen]

You're welcome, Tiffany :-) I wouldn't use Worchestershire sauce; too tangy. But a little bit of soy sauce would be okay.

[@reachtrita]

The mushroom sauce doesn’t taste like mushroom. It tastes like oyster sauce (the base for most Chinese brown sauces like beef and broccoli). :)

[@plantbased5639]

Also, can i just use regular tofu thats grilled?
