Ingredients

• Gluten-free all-purpose flour - 1 cup (120g)
• Hot water - 1/3 cup (80ml)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cabbage, finely chopped - 1/2 cup (50g)
• Carrot, grated - 1/4 cup (30g)
• Green onion, finely chopped - 1/4 cup (25g)
• Tofu, crumbled - 100g
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Ginger, minced - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic, minced - 1 teaspoon
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt.
2. Gradually add hot water to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, green onion, crumbled tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and pepper until well combined.
5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle (about 10 cm in diameter).
6. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough in half and pinch the edges to seal, creating a dumpling shape.
7. Prepare a steamer basket lined with parchment paper and arrange the dumplings inside, making sure they are not touching.
8. Steam the dumplings over boiling water for about 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked through.
9. Serve hot with additional soy sauce for dipping.
