Are these dumplings vegetarian or vegan?

They’re both! Iris makes the pastry simply from flour and water, with no animal products, and the filling is all vegetables — shiitake mushrooms, wood ear fungi, cabbage and more. The umami depth comes from clever seasoning with sesame oil, soy sauce and aromatics, so the flavours are bold and rich without needing any meat or dairy.

Should I steam or pan-fry them?

It depends on your mood. Steaming gives you lighter, more delicate dumplings with tender pastry — perfect if you want something wholesome and traditional. Pan-frying creates that golden crispy bottom (known as potstickers), while the tops stay soft and steamed. Both methods work beautifully straight from frozen in around 15–20 minutes.

How long do they keep in the freezer?

These dumplings are made for those “nothing planned” moments, and they’ll happily sit in your freezer for up to 2 months. Because they cook straight from frozen, you don’t need to thaw or prepare anything in advance. Just pull them out and 20 minutes later you’ll have a hot, healthy, satisfying meal on the table.

Handmade Plant-Based Dumplings – Ready When You Need Them Most

These dumplings are lovingly handmade by Iris, starting with completely hand-rolled pastry that’s filled with a delicious mix of shiitake mushrooms, wood ear fungi, Chinese cabbage and fresh vegetables. The result is layers of flavour and texture that feel every bit as satisfying as meat-filled dumplings — only these are naturally vegan and plant-based.

They’re also the ultimate “forgot dinner” life saver. Straight from the freezer to your plate in 15–20 minutes, you can choose to steam them for a light and delicate finish, or pan-fry for golden, crispy bases. To make them even more special, Iris includes her homemade chilli oil, crafted with dried chilli, Sichuan pepper, garlic and olive oil. It’s the kind of thoughtful detail that transforms a quick freezer meal into something restaurant-quality.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Iris!

I'm originally from Cambodia. My first memory of connecting with food was when I was little and my mum was always busy in her shop, so she left the house work and cooking to me. As the eldest child in the family, I had to learn to cook and did the shopping as guided by mum. I remember I learnt to cook my first curry chicken when I was just 12 years old.

Loved this pie, lots of flavour but not too spicy for my rather bland palet. So different to anything I've ever eaten. Really enjoyed it. Could have easily eaten 2.
