Rough chop vegetables using a food processor (except shiitake mushrooms).

Sauté shiitake mushrooms in extra virgin olive oil and add 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

Sauté remaining vegetables in extra virgin olive oil and soy sauce until liquid reduces.

Add a pinch of MSG to the vegetable filling for flavor.

Process the filling until it reaches a paste-like consistency, then add tofu and mix until coarse.

Start folding the dumplings using three methods:

1. Create a half moon by placing 1-1.5 teaspoons of filling in the wrapper, fold and pinch edges.

2. For the diaper method, create a half moon, flip it, create an indentation, bring corners together and seal.

3. For the pleat and pinch method, create a half moon, pinch center, pleat edges, and reinforce the seal.

Recruit help to fold dumplings, demonstrating the crescent moon method with a beginner.
