Steamed dumplings, homemade wrappers

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
