In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum.
Slowly add hot water to the flour mixture while stirring with a spoon or chopsticks. Once the dough begins to come together, knead it with your hands for about 7-10 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Finely shred the cabbage and carrots, mince the garlic, and chop the scallions.
Heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sautΓ© for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add cabbage, carrots, and scallions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, then add tamari, salt, and pepper. Remove the filling from heat and let it cool.
Divide the dough into small, equal portions (about 16-20 pieces). Roll each piece into a ball, and then flatten into a thin wrapper using a rolling pin. Use a dusting of gluten-free flour underneath to prevent sticking.
Place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the dumpling in half and pleat the edges to seal tightly.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, then cover the skillet with a lid. Let the dumplings steam for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate. Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tamari or chili oil.
