Ingredients

Main Ingredients (10 dumplings)

  • Bread Flour 50g
  • All-Purpose Flour 50g
  • Shiitake Mushroom 1 pc
  • Cabbage 100g
  • Ground Pork 80g

Seasonings

  • Salt 1/4 tsp
  • Hot Water 55g
  • Salt 1/4 tsp
  • Chicken Granules 1/2 tsp
  • Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tsp
  • Soy Sauce 1 tsp
  • Sesame Oil 1 tsp
  • Minced Garlic 1 tsp
  • Grated Ginger 1 tsp
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Vegetable Oil for greasing
  • Water (enough to cover 1/3 of dumplings)
  • Sesame Oil for drizzling

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine Bread Flour 50g, All-Purpose Flour 50g, and Salt 1/4 tsp. Mix well, then add Hot Water 55g and stir with chopsticks until crumbly.
  2. Once the mixture starts to break apart, knead it in the bowl to form a dough.
  3. Knead for about 3 to 5 minutes until the dough is smooth. Shape it into a ball, place it seam-side down in the bowl, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Finely mince Cabbage 100g. Add Salt 1/4 tsp and mix well. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine Ground Pork 80g, Chicken Granules 1/2 tsp, Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tsp, Soy Sauce 1 tsp, Sesame Oil 1 tsp, Minced Garlic 1 tsp, Grated Ginger 1 tsp, and Salt and Pepper to taste. Mix until sticky and well combined.
  6. Once the pork is sticky, firmly squeeze out the excess water from the minced cabbage and add it to the pork mixture.
  7. Trim the stem from Shiitake Mushroom 1 pc, finely mince it, and add it to the pork mixture along with the cabbage.
  8. Mix everything until well combined. Refrigerate the filling while you prepare the dumpling wrappers.
  9. Remove the rested dough from the bowl and divide it into 10 equal portions on a clean surface. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
  10. Shape each portion of dough into a ball and place it flat side down on your work surface.
  11. Gently flatten each ball with your hand, lightly dust with flour, and roll it into a circle with a rolling pin.
  12. While rotating the dough, use the rolling pin on the edges to thinly stretch it into a circle about 12cm to 15cm in diameter. (Key Tip: To easily wrap the filling, aim to make the edges thinner than the center.)
  13. Place a portion of the chilled meat filling in the center of the stretched wrapper.
  14. Pull the center of the wrapper to enclose the filling. Create about 3 pleats from the edge towards the center and press firmly to seal. Repeat on the other side with another 3 pleats. (Key Tip: The dough is stretchy, so ensure the center is sealed tightly. Using a little water can help it stick better.)
  15. Lightly grease a frying pan with Vegetable Oil. Once warm, arrange the dumplings in the pan with some space between them.
  16. Pour in enough Water to cover 1/3 of the dumplings. Increase the heat to medium-high, cover with a lid, and steam for 3.5 to 5 minutes. (Key Tip: Because the wrappers are thicker than store-bought ones, steam them longer until the water evaporates.)
  17. Once the water has evaporated, drizzle Sesame Oil over the entire pan. Increase the heat and cook, watching carefully to prevent burning, until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.
  18. Once the bottoms are nicely browned, transfer to a plate and serve.
