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

  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and hot water. Stir with a fork until it starts to come together.
  2. Once it’s cool enough to handle, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  4. In a pan over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped mushrooms until soft and golden.
  5. Add the crumbled tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and green onions. Stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Pour in the vegetable broth and let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
  7. Divide the rested dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
  8. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter.
  9. Place a spoonful of the soup filling in the center of each circle.
  10. Gently fold the edges over the filling, pinching them together to create pleats.
  11. Set up a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water and line it with parchment paper.
  12. 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.
  • Keep an eye on the water level while steaming.
  • Experiment with different fillings and flavors.
