Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 medium, finely grated Carrot
• 1 cup, finely shredded Green cabbage
• 0.5 cups, finely diced Shiitake mushrooms
• 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
• 1 teaspoon, minced Fresh ginger
• 1 clove, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoons Low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoons Neutral oil (such as vegetable oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and water to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough rests, heat the neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the grated carrot, shredded cabbage, diced mushrooms, minced ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped green onions, sesame oil, and low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Step 4

After the dough has rested, divide it into 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a 3-4 inch circle.

Step 5

Place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges to seal them tightly. Pleat the edges if desired for a decorative finish.

Step 6

Line a bamboo or metal steamer with parchment paper or lightly coat with oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, making sure they do not touch each other.

Step 7

Fill a pot with water, ensuring the water level is below the bottom of the steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil, then place the steamer basket over it. Cover and steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes until the wrappers are tender and translucent.

Step 8

Serve the dumplings warm with a side of low-sodium dipping sauce or enjoy as-is for a flavorful, healthy snack.
