Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for gluten-free version)
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Shredded cabbage
• 0.5 cups Grated carrots
• 0.5 cups Chopped mushrooms
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free version)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons Water for sealing wrappers

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water while mixing with your hands or a spoon until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil (if using). Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Step 9

After the dough has rested, roll it into a long cylinder and divide into 20 equal pieces.

Step 10

Roll each piece of dough into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 11

Place 1-2 teaspoons of the vegetable filling in the center of each circle.

Step 12

Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the circle. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal, creating pleats if desired.

Step 13

Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Step 14

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and arrange the dumplings in the skillet, flat side down.

Step 15

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 16

Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings.

Step 17

Steam for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the dumpling wrappers are tender.

Step 18

Remove the lid and cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms.

Step 19

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
