Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Boiling water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 large Carrot, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0 Water for steaming

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring with a fork or chopsticks until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 2

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, grated carrot, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, chopped scallions, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

After the dough has rested, divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a log about 1 inch in diameter. Cut each log into 6 equal pieces, yielding 24 dough pieces.

Step 5

Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a circle about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin, ensuring the edges are thinner than the center.

Step 6

Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to form a pleated crescent shape. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Step 7

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add dumplings in a single layer and fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes or until the water evaporates.

Step 9

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the bottoms are crisp again. Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
