Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 2 cups Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 cup Carrots, finely grated
• 1 cup Zucchini, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely sliced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional for extra flavor)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt (for filling)
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil (for pan frying)
• 0.25 cups Water (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the warm water while stirring with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, diced zucchini, minced garlic, grated ginger, finely sliced green onions (if using), sesame oil (if using), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and set aside.

Step 4

After the dough has rested, divide it into 24 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then, using a rolling pin, flatten into a thin disk about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place 1-2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a crescent shape, pressing the edges together to seal. For a pleated look, crimp the edges as you seal.

Step 6

To cook the dumplings, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the pan, flat side down, without overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown. Carefully pour in 1/4 cup of water, then cover the skillet with a lid to steam the dumplings. Let them steam for 6-8 minutes, or until the water evaporates.

Step 8

Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms, if desired. Repeat the process with the remaining dumplings.

Step 9

Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
