Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Boiling water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 large Carrot, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- Water for steaming
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring with a fork or chopsticks until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, grated carrot, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, chopped scallions, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
After the dough has rested, divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a log about 1 inch in diameter. Cut each log into 6 equal pieces, yielding 24 dough pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a circle about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin, ensuring the edges are thinner than the center.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to form a pleated crescent shape. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add dumplings in a single layer and fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes or until the water evaporates.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the bottoms are crisp again. Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
