Chinese Chive Boxes

Get your taste buds dancing with these charming Chinese Chive Boxes. They’re packed with fresh ingredients and are perfect as a side dish or a little snack during your next movie marathon. Don’t worry; it’s easier than it looks!

Ingredients

1 cup Chinese chives, chopped
1/2 cup firm tofu, crumbled
1/4 cup mushroom, finely diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 packet of dumpling wrappers
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped Chinese chives, crumbled tofu, and diced mushrooms.
Add vegetable oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the mixture. Sprinkle in cornstarch, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Make sure it’s well combined; we want these flavors to marry like it’s a rom-com!
Grab a dumpling wrapper and place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center. Fold the wrapper in half to form a crescent shape and pinch the edges to seal. It’s like wrapping a tiny present, but in the end, you get to eat it!
Repeat until you’ve filled all your wrappers. Place them on a floured plate to prevent sticking, because nobody wants a gluey disaster!
In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully place the chive boxes in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Then, add a splash of water (not too much!) and cover the pan. This steams them to perfection while keeping that crispy bottom intact.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let them cool slightly. Try not to burn your tongue—patience is key!

Serve these beauties warm and watch them disappear faster than you can say “Chinese Chive Boxes!” Whether it’s a cozy dinner or an extravagant party, these tasty bites are sure to steal the show. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
