Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup hot water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Soup Filling:
1 cup vegetable broth (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (shiitake or button work well)
½ cup tofu, crumbled
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
2 green onions, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
For Extra Flavor:
1 tablespoon rice vinegar for a tangy kick
1 teaspoon chili oil for a spicy twist
Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for a burst of freshness
For the Dipping Sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon chili paste or flakes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and hot water. Stir with a fork until it starts to come together.
Once it’s cool enough to handle, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
In a pan over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped mushrooms until soft and golden.
Add the crumbled tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and green onions. Stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
Divide the rested dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the soup filling in the center of each circle.
Gently fold the edges over the filling, pinching them together to create pleats.
Set up a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water and line it with parchment paper.
Place the dumplings in the basket, cover, and steam for about 10-12 minutes until the dough is translucent and cooked through.
Notes
Watch the dough consistency; adjust with flour or water as needed.
Don’t overfill the dumplings to prevent bursting.
Seal the dumplings carefully to keep the broth inside.
