Dumpling Dough

Method

Dumpling Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Lamb Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Dumpling Assembly

  1. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter.

  2. 5

    Fill the Dumplings

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

Cooking the Dumplings

  1. 6

    Boil the Dumplings

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in the dumplings in batches and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Stir well to mix.
