Equipment
- Steam cooker
Ingredients
Dough:
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup Hot water
- 1 tbsp Oil
Filling (option 1):
- 1.5 cup Soya Chunks
- 0.5 cup Shiitake mushrooms soaked and diced
- 3 Sun dried tomatoes diced
- 1 pinch Smoked paprika
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 2 pinches M-Glutamate
- 3 cups water
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1 Onion
- 1 clove Garlic
Filling (option 2)
- 1 Onion
- 1 Carrot
- 200 g Cabbage
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add hot water and stir with a spoon until it's cool enough to handle. Once the temperature is tolerable, knead the dough until smooth. Grease it lightly with oil and let it rest, covered with a towel, lid, or cling film.
- In a saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add dried soy chunks, chopped shiitake mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and spices. Let it cook for 15 minutes, then drain any excess water.
- In a skillet, heat a bit of oil and sauté one large diced onion until golden brown. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer the sautéed mixture to the soy chunks. The filling is now ready — let it cool slightly before using.
- If you'd like to make a second filling, stew the cabbage. Start by sautéing diced onions in a preheated skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil until they turn translucent.
- Add shredded carrots and cook until they reduce in size, then add finely chopped cabbage. Stew for 10 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out the dough and cut it into small circles. Fill each one with your chosen filling and shape them into dumplings. There's no strict rule for the shape, so feel free to make them however you like.
- Steam the dumplings for 25-30 minutes. Serve them with soy sauce, alongside your favorite vegetables or a fresh salad (or both!). You can also lightly fry the steamed dumplings to make them crispy.
