Ingredients

Servings : 2-3

Dumpling dough :

• 12/13 cl of boiling water

• 30 g of corn starch or tapioca starch

• 30g of cassava flour

• 100 g of white rice flour

• 2 tsp of psyllium husk **

• salt

Filling :

• 200g of firm tofu

• a handful of dried black mushrooms

• 2 garlic cloves

• ½ fresh chili seeds removed

• ½ tsp of tumeric

• 2cm of fresh grated ginger or 1/2 tsp of dried ginger powder

• salt and pepper

 Dressing :

• 2 tbsp of roasted sesame oil

• 1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds

• 1 tsp of rice vinegar

• 2 tbsp of tamari or soy sauce

• 1 tbsp of siracha

Instructions

Dumpling dough

1. Dump all the dry ingredients in a bowl.

2. Add the water (start with the minimum then add if necessary, this varies according to the flour) - you should be able to form a ball that is not too sticky.

3. Oil your dough and wrap it with a plastic film paper and let it set in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Filling

1. Meanwhile prepare the filling by first soaking the dried mushroom in boiling water until soft. Start crumbling your tofu with a fork or your hand.

2. Add garlic and ginger to a pan with oil and fry for around 1-2 minutes.

3. Add mushrooms, tofu and tumeric and fry for another 5-6 minutes.

Assembling

1. Once your dough has cooled down, spread it out on a floured work surface (I used rice flour). Be careful, the dough must be very thin otherwise it will be thick and not nice to eat.

2. Using the top of a glass or bowl wide enough to make dumplings (depending on how big you want them), cut out circles, oil or put water around the dough, garnish them with stuffing in the center (about a tsp) and close them (by pinching on the edges).

3. Place in a steamer and steam for 12-15minutes. I suggest only steaming them for 12 minutes if you want to pan fry them afterwards. *

Dressing 

1.  Add all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk all the ingredients.

Notes :

*You can freeze them once prepared before steaming them.

**You can find psyllium husk in your organic store or online. If you plan on doing a lot of gluten-free recipes this is a must. You can substitute with guar gum or xanthan gum but I did not tested with these but it helps the dough old its shape.
