Ingredients

• 200 g All-purpose flour
• 120 ml Hot water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 200 g Cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 2 tbsp Chives, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 100 ml Water, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the Dumpling Dough: In a large bowl, mix 200g of all-purpose flour with 1 tsp of salt. Gradually add 120ml of hot water while stirring with a spoon until a rough dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Make the Filling: While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped chives, minced garlic, and minced ginger.

Step 4

Season the Filling: Add 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of sesame oil, and 0.5 tsp of black pepper to the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Roll out the Dough: After the dough has rested, divide it into small portions about the size of a walnut. Roll each piece into a thin, round wrapper, approximately 3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Fill the Dumplings: Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming crescent-shaped dumplings.

Step 7

Pan-fry the Dumplings: Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the pan, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Steam the Dumplings: Add 100ml of water to the pan and cover it with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 5-6 minutes or until the water has completely evaporated.

Step 9

Crisp the Bottoms: Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 10

Serve: Remove from the heat and serve the pan-fried dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
