- 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
- 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.
- Keep an eye on the water level while steaming.
- Experiment with different fillings and flavors.
