Method
Prepare Dough
- 1
Mix flour and salt
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
- 2
Add boiling water
Slowly pour the boiling water into the flour while stirring with chopsticks or a fork until the mixture forms clumps.
- 3
Add cold water and knead
Add the cold water and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Make Filling
- 4
In a large bowl, combine chopped Chinese chives, crumbled tofu, soaked and chopped glass noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Assemble Dumplings
- 5
Divide the rested dough into small pieces and roll into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Flatten each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.
- 6
Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the dough over the filling and pleat the edges to seal the dumpling.
Steam Dumplings

Steam over boiling water for 8–10 minutes, or until the wrappers become translucent and slightly glossy.
