Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.75 cup Hot water
- 1 pound Ground pork (or chicken for a lighter option)
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
- 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
- 3 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (for sealing wrappers)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, and xanthan gum.
Gradually add the hot water while stirring with a spoon or spatula until the mixture comes together into a dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Prepare the filling by mixing the ground pork (or chicken), cabbage, carrot, scallions, garlic, ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Divide the dough into small portions (about the size of a walnut) and roll each one into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin. Use extra gluten-free flour to prevent sticking.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Dab the edges of the wrapper with a small amount of water, then fold and pleat the edges to seal the dim sim tightly.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling until all dim sims are formed.
Line a bamboo steamer or metal steamer with parchment paper to prevent sticking, or lightly grease it with oil.
Place the dim sims in the steamer, making sure to leave some space between each one to prevent sticking.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and set the steamer over the pot. Cover and steam the dim sims over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the wrappers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
Serve the dim sims hot with gluten-free soy sauce or chili dipping sauce on the side.
