Assembly and Cooking

Method

Dumpling Assembly and Cooking

  1. 1

    Roll Dough

    Divide the rested dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle.

  2. 2

    Fill and Seal Dumplings

    Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Carefully pinch the edges to form pleats and seal the dumpling.

  3. 3

    Prepare Steamer

    Dust the bottom of a steamer basket with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Place dumplings in the basket, ensuring they do not touch.

  4. 4

    Steam Dumplings

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Place the steamer basket over the pot, cover, and steam the dumplings for about 10-12 minutes.
