  2. Crumble tempeh mix with sauerkraut, coriander and soy sauce.
  3. Split dough into small balls, roll on floured table into little circles, 5 inches in diameter. Try to make these thicker in the middle so they hold the filling better. Add 2tsp of filling and fold, the shape doesn’t matter that much as long as the edges are sealed as we are going to boil them in the stock.
