Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour - 150 grams
  • Water - 75 ml
  • Cabbage - 100 grams, finely chopped
  • Carrot - 50 grams, grated
  • Mushrooms - 50 grams, finely chopped
  • Green onions - 30 grams, sliced
  • 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 bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and water until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, add a splash of water or vegetable broth. Sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender. Stir in the green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
  4. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle, approximately 10 cm in diameter.
  5. Place a tablespoon of the vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold and pinch the edges to seal the dumplings tightly.
  6. Steam the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Serve hot with additional soy sauce or dipping sauce of choice.
