Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm water
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
- 1 cup ground chicken or tofu
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cabbage or spinach, finely shredded
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix ground chicken or tofu, green onions, garlic, shredded cabbage or spinach, and soy sauce to create the filling.
- Divide the rested dough into small balls and roll each into thin circles about three inches wide.
- Place one tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold over and pinch tightly to seal.
- Steam the dumplings in a bamboo steamer lined with parchment paper or gently boil in salted water until they float (about 5-7 minutes).
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for optimal flavor.
- Don’t overfill dumplings to prevent bursting during cooking; less is often more.
- Experiment with different vegetables or proteins to customize your dumplings.
