Dumpling Dough

Method

Dumpling Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Dough Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing with your hands until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  3. 3

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Assemble and Cook Dumplings

  1. 5

    Roll out the Dough

    After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter).

  2. 6

    Fill the Dumplings

    Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal.

  3. 7

    Cook the Dumplings

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.
