Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 0.5 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by making the dumpling dough. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water while stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped mushrooms, green onions, and minced ginger.

Step 4

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cornstarch over the mixture and toss to coat evenly. This will help absorb any excess moisture.

Step 6

After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope and cut into small, even pieces (about 1 inch each).

Step 7

Roll each small piece into a ball, then flatten with a rolling pin into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Place a teaspoon of vegetable filling in the center of each dough round.

Step 9

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. You can pleat the edges for a decorative touch.

Step 10

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 11

Arrange the dumplings in the skillet without overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 12

Carefully add just enough water to the skillet to cover the bottom (about 1/4 cup), then immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for another 5 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate and the bottoms crisp up again for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 14

Serve the veggie dumplings hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
