Zhong Dumplings are a delightful twist on traditional dumplings, featuring a savory filling of mushrooms and tofu wrapped in a tender dough. This Kosher breakfast dish is not only satisfying but also packed with flavor, making it a perfect start to your day.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 milliliters
• Firm tofu - 150 grams, crumbled
• Shiitake mushrooms - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - For frying

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 and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. In another bowl, mix the crumbled tofu, chopped shiitake mushrooms, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined to make the filling.
3. After resting, roll the dough into a long log and cut it into 10 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle about 7 cm in diameter.
4. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle, then fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal well.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place the dumplings in the skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
6. Add 50 ml of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Let the dumplings steam for an additional 5 minutes until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
7. Serve hot with additional soy sauce or chili oil for dipping.
