Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup tofu, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cups water (for steaming)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour with warm water gradually, kneading to form a soft and smooth dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest while you prepare the filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms and grated carrot to the skillet, sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the crumbled tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well mixed and heated through.
Add in the chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and turn off the heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
Take a small portion of the dough, approximately the size of a golf ball, and flatten it into a circle (about 3-4 inches in diameter) using your palms.
Place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center of the dough circle. Carefully fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal, forming a round dumpling. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Prepare a steamer with water and bring it to a simmer. Place the dumplings on parchment paper in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Steam the dumplings over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes or until the dough is translucent and cooked through.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free savory rice dumplings!
