Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the water while mixing with a fork or chopsticks until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by combining the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside.
After the dough has rested, divide it into small equal pieces, about the size of a walnut. Roll each piece into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter.
Place a teaspoon of the cheese and chive filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together tightly to seal. Optionally, crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Arrange the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the dumpling wrappers are tender.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve the dumplings warm with soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
