Dumplings

These dairy-free dumplings are a delightful Chinese snack filled with savory vegetables and aromatic spices, perfect for a light meal or appetizer. They are steamed to perfection, retaining all the natural flavors and nutrients of the ingredients.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Warm water - 75 ml
• Cabbage - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Carrot - 50 grams, grated
• Green onion - 30 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while stirring until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. In another bowl, mix the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Divide the dough into small balls (about 20 grams each) and roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
5. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.
6. Prepare a steamer or a pot with a steaming rack. Place the dumplings in the steamer and steam for about 15 minutes.
7. Serve the dumplings warm with additional soy sauce for dipping.
