Method
Dumpling Wrapper Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to relax the gluten.

Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter. Keep the circles covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Steam the Dumplings
