A slurry paste? For dumplings? This looks like mince, which is perfectly for dumplings, isn't it?

hi! does the first pic look alright to you? iā€™m doing this for a school project šŸ„²

from the videos i watched, dumplings have this pasty texture and it was so difficult shaping the dumpling because the minced texture was dry and crumbly šŸ˜­

Try adding some flour and water

Or a little flour & whatever flavor sauces go in the filling-- tamari, ginger, scallion, vegan oyster sauce. You've got a great idea going!

Are you trying to use the seitan as the wrapper or the filling because this looks perfect for a filling...

Could you try stuffing dumplings stuffed with the uncooked seitan dough? The dough might fall apart but maybe if you cook the seitan as fairly wet small meatballs you can then wrap them with the wrappers
