Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 7 ounces Firm tofu
- 1 cup Cabbage
- 1 small Carrot
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together. Gradually add the warm water, stirring with a fork or chopsticks until the mixture forms a shaggy dough.
Step 2
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
For the filling, crumble the tofu into a large bowl. Finely shred the cabbage and carrot and add to the bowl.
Step 4
Mince the ginger and garlic, and finely chop the green onions. Add them to the tofu mixture.
Step 5
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper to the filling mixture. Mix well until combined. Sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture and toss to distribute evenly. This will help to hold the filling together.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a 1-inch thick rope and cut into 12 pieces, yielding 48 total pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
Step 7
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter. Keep the unused dough covered to prevent drying.
Step 8
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, pleating as you go if desired.
Step 9
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange dumplings in the skillet, seam side up, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Step 10
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Reduce heat to medium and steam the dumplings for about 5 minutes until the water has evaporated.
Step 11
Remove the lid, and cook for another 2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
