A Note from Feedfeed

We love dumplings! These are stuffed with a sautéed vegetable mix for a delicious filling. Pan-fried until golden brown, you'll have a vegan dinner fresh off the stove. It might seem tough to make, but we promise you won't regret a homecooked meal instead of takeout. Trust us.
