For the Mo:Mo Dumplings

Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Shape the Dumplings
Divide the rested dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. You can pleat the edges for a decorative finish.
