Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 ml
• Cabbage - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Carrot - 50 grams, grated
• Mushrooms - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and water to form a dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. In another bowl, mix the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped mushrooms, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut out circles of about 8 cm in diameter.
4. Place a teaspoon of the vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle, then fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal tightly.
5. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place a steaming basket over the pot and arrange the dumplings in the basket, making sure they don’t touch each other.
6. Cover and steam the dumplings for about 15 minutes until the dough is translucent and cooked through.
7. Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
