Ingredients

• 200 grams Glutinous rice flour
• 180 milliliters Water
• 1 medium, diced finely Carrot
• 100 grams, chopped finely Mushrooms
• 50 grams Green peas
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 2 stalks, chopped Scallions
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and water. Stir until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the diced carrots and chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Stir in the green peas, soy sauce, scallions, salt, and white pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 5

Divide the rice dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a circle about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling into the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a dumpling shape.

Step 7

Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Step 9

Cover and steam the dumplings over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough turns translucent.

Step 10

Remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve hot with additional soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
