Vegetable dumplings

We made a big discovery with this recipe, it's one of our favorites! We love the Chinese dumplings and we made them at home that have nothing to envy to the original.

Ingredients for 8 dumplings:
- 1 piece of red pepper of 2 finger widths
- 1 piece of green pepper of 2 finger widths
- 1/8 of onion
- 1 piece of leek of 3 fingers widths
- 1 small carrot
- 1/2 tomato
- 8 wafers dumplings (I used normals, but if you find wafers for Chinese dumplings it's better)

Recipe:
- Wash and cut all ingredients into small pieces using a grinder.
- Extend each wafer and fill with the mixture.
- Soak the inner edges of the wafer and pressing the two edges close them and bend to one side. (You must place the dumplings standing to close them well).
- Place them in a bamboo basket to make them steam for 20 minutes. Remember to put some baking paper between the basket and the dumplings to prevent sticking.

*Tip: If you don't have bamboo basket to make them steamed, you can also make them in a pan. Fry them a little on each side with a few drops of oil, place them on the base and pour water (to fill 1/3 of the pan). Cook over high heat and cover the pan for a few minutes until all the water has evaporated. Remember to leave a small opening when you cover the pan to allow steam to escape.

Bon appétit!
