Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup hot water
- 4 cups spinach
- 8 ounces tofu
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the hot water to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon until a dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Steam the spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted, then squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely.
Step 6
Crumble the tofu into a medium bowl and combine it with the chopped spinach, nutritional yeast, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, green onions, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to form the filling.
Step 7
Divide the rested dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 8
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.
Step 9
Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over the filling and pleat the edges to seal the dumpling.
Step 10
Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly oiling the surface to prevent sticking.
Step 11
Place the dumplings in the steamer, leaving some space between them, and steam over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until the dumpling wrappers are translucent and tender.
Step 12
Serve hot with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce.
