Thank you so much for joining this event:)

Dear all, thank you for bringing in your wonderful energy 💛

Our dumpling and sarma-making party was such a joy.

And in our usual improv-vegan-cooking style, the dumpling fillings were completely made up on the spot and they turned out delicious!

We experimented with several variations:

Dumpling A: purple carrot, ginger, garlic, fried tofu, mushroom sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper.

Dumpling B: cabbage, ginger, garlic, fried tofu, mushroom sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper.

Dumpling C: shiitake, water chestnuts, green onion, mushroom sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

And a big thanks to Nurcan for teaching us how to make Turkish sarma! :)

(We had this one today)

She also recommended a sarma recipe from this site.

For dessert, we baked green apples with a drizzle of lemon-flavored oil, coconut milk, sugar, and chai-spice mix, then served them with vegan whipped cream.

(Baked for about 25 minutes)

We also spontaneously created a dumpling soup and some orange chili stir-fry.

For the orange sauce, you can check out this page.

At the event we used soy chicken (like?) but you can add tofu or rinsed soy curls too.(this is a picture from a past event)

The salad was made with carrot, purple carrot, and apple, marinated in an orange-cumin-mustard dressing (a similar recipe is available here).

The tamarind drink and fruit smoothie were incredibly refreshing — the perfect match for all the sweet and savory flavors 🫐 🍉 ✨

Our zucchini salad was marinated with a simple pomegranate dressing.

1 grilled( sliced) zucchini (with olive oil)

Dressing: 1 tsp pomegranate syrup, 2 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp lemon-flavored rapeseed oil, 1 tsp water, plus a pinch of sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and chopped parsley.

I hope you feel inspired to recreate something from today’s event at home in the future. :)

Thanks again for the wonderful energy, creativity, and company!
