Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Glutinous rice flour
- 180 milliliters Water
- 1 medium, diced finely Carrot
- 100 grams, chopped finely Mushrooms
- 50 grams Green peas
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 2 stalks, chopped Scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and water. Stir until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the diced carrots and chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the green peas, soy sauce, scallions, salt, and white pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.
Divide the rice dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a circle about 2 inches in diameter.
Place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling into the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a dumpling shape.
Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Cover and steam the dumplings over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough turns translucent.
Remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve hot with additional soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
