Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Glutinous rice flour
- 250 ml Water
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 100 grams, diced Button mushrooms
- 2 stalks, chopped Green onions
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and water. Stir until a smooth and pliable dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced mushrooms to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the grated carrot, chopped green onions, and crumbled firm tofu to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and all flavors are well combined.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture, stirring constantly to incorporate and thicken slightly. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Divide the rice dough into 16 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.
Flatten each ball gently in your palm to create a disc. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each disc.
Carefully bring the edges of the dough together, pinching and sealing to form a dumpling. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Place the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 15 minutes, or until the dough is translucent and cooked through.
Serve the dumplings hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
