As a vegetarian before transitioning to vegan, I loved True Food Kitchen's Edamame Dumplings. Unfortunately, their edamame potstickers are vegetarian, not vegan. However, since I consider myself an edamame dumplings connoisseur, I decided to make vegan edamame potstickers.
Even though True Food Kitchen won't disclose their ingredients, I tried to match the taste I remembered. However, my husband, Paul, attests my edamame dumplings taste better. No bias there!
Did you know Nasoya Won Ton Wraps are now vegan? Yes! Not only are these convenient little wrappers vegan, but they are also oil-free. Their new and improved recipe omits the eggs and oil. That sounds like a significant improvement to me.

Just tried this recipe and I really enjoyed it so thank you! Before I was vegan I also enjoyed true food edamame dumplings. I wondered if you considered adding truffle oil to the recipe or left that out intentionally to be a more healthy option or I know some vegans do not consider truffles vegan. Anyways, I tried one batch with vegan umami seasoning (mushrooms) and one with truffle oil and they both tasted amazing!

Hi Mark, I love truffle oil and truffle seasoning. I don't usually cook with oil, but that is a great combination and suggestion. I'm so glad you liked the potstickers. Thanks for the feedback!
