Steamed dumplings, homemade wrappers

 

Sep 12, 2021 

 

These wrappers are so simple, but the exact moisture of the dough changes from day to day. For 30 4" wrappers, start with

  • 2 cups a/p flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup warm water

and adjust from there to get the right texture. Let it sit for 30 minutes before rolling with only a bit more flour, if needed. It's perfect when you don't need more flour.

For 5 dumplings, I use

  • 3 Tbsp flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp water

Add turmeric to the dough for yellow tint, an herb for green - sage is nice depending on our filling, steam on red cabbage for that beautiful purple leaf


 And what about the filling? Use what you like. For my vegetarian/vegan dumplings:

  • Mushroom
  • Celery
  • Cabbage
  • Ginger
  • Cardamom
  • Sometimes tofu or tempeh

Dipping sauce

  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp white rice vinegar or cider vinegar
  • ½ Tbsp toasted sesame oil
