- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- Cabbage, finely chopped - 1/2 cup (50g)

Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt.
- Gradually add hot water to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a dough forms.
- 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.
- 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.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle (about 10 cm in diameter).
- 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.
- Prepare a steamer basket lined with parchment paper and arrange the dumplings inside, making sure they are not touching.
- Steam the dumplings over boiling water for about 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked through.
- Serve hot with additional soy sauce for dipping.
