How to Make It

1. Step
Add the mushrooms, cabbage, chives, cilantro, ⅛ teaspoon sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and salt to a mini food processor. Process until finely chopped.
2. Step
Add a heaping teaspoon of the filling to the center of a wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water and brush over the edges of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper over itself into a triangle and press the edges together to seal, pressing out any air. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
3. Step
Add the wonton wrappers to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Pour in the hot water and remaining teaspoon of sesame oil. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until dumplings are floating and the wrappers are translucent.
4. Step
Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, black vinegar, and chile oil.
5. Step
Transfer the dumplings to a plate. Serve with the dipping sauce alongside.
6. Step
Enjoy!
