Vegetable Dumplings (Vegan Gyoza / Potstickers)

all-purpose flour

salt

water (160 milliliters)

cornstarch or all-purpose flour flour

sesame oil

garlic (minced)

tbsp ginger (minced)

onion (diced)

carrot (100 grams) (shredded)

oz mushrooms (200 grams) (finely chopped)

leek (60 grams) (finely chopped)

oz cabbage (200 grams) (shredded)

soy sauce

tbsp rice vinegar

salt and pepper (to taste)

tsp sriracha (or sambal oelek (optional))

tbsp agave syrup

tsp sesame oil

sriracha

sesame seeds

tbsp spring onions (sliced)

*Note: I highly recommend watching the recipe video!

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the water while stirring to combine. Transfer to a working surface and knead for about 3-5 minutes until you have a smooth and soft dough. Form into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into two pieces (This makes it easier to roll out). Dust the working surface with a little cornstarch and roll out the dough into about 2mm (1/14-inch) thick.

Cut out circles using a glass or cookie cutter (mine is 3-inch wide/ 8cm). Remove the trim, knead it into a ball, and roll it out again to cut out more circles.

Dust the wrappers with some cornstarch before stacking them up, otherwise they will stick together.

Use them right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze.

Dumpling Wrappers

Finely chop the veggies and heat the oil in a large pan.

Add the mushrooms, onions,&nbsp;and carrots and fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Then add the leek and cabbage with a little salt and cook for further 5-7 minutes, or until veggies are soft and cooked through, stirring occasionally, adding a little water if needed. Add the garlic, ginger, and seasonings and cook for a further minute to combine the flavors.

Set aside to cool.

Veggie Filling

Add 1 heaped teaspoon of filling to the center of the dumpling wrapper. Brush the edges with water and fold the dumpling creating hand fan pattern or as desired (see step-by-step pictures or recipe video in the text above), making sure to seal the seams.

Repeat until the wrappers are used up.

Now you can freeze the uncooked gyoza (see recipe notes*) or cook them.

Fold Gyoza

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the gyoza and fry for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are nicely browned. Pour in about 1/4 cup of water and cover with a lid. Steam for 7-8 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Cook Gyoza

Mix all ingredients for the dipping sauce together.

Sprinkle the gyoza with sesame and chopped spring onions and serve with the sauce. Enjoy!

Homemade Dumpling Wrappers for Wontons, Gyoza & Co

½ cups all-purpose or wheat or spelt flour

water oil

flour (for dusting the work surface)

*Note: Check out the recipe video + step-by-step guide above for visual instruction!

Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. Pour in the hot water and mix with chopsticks until the liquid has been absorbed by the flour. Place the dough on a working surface and knead with your hands for about 3-5 minutes until a smooth and soft dough forms. Then form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (If making gluten-free dough continue with the next step immediately; do not chill it).

After the chill time, divide the dough into 2 or 4 pieces and wrap each piece in cling foil again. Start with one piece at a time and put the others back in the refrigerator to prevent them from drying out. Roll one piece out on a lightly floured work surface to be about 2 mm thick.

To make wonton wrappers, cut out squares with a pizza cutter (approx. 3“x3“, 7.5x7.5-cm). Or to make gyoza wrappers, cut out circles, using a round glass or cookie cutter (approx. 3-4“, 8-10-cm diameter). Use leftover dough to cut out more wrappers. Then fill and fold however you like (or stack them up for later use*).

Remove the next dough portion from the refrigerator and repeat this process to make more wrappers.

water

vegetable oil

egg (optional)

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt until evenly combined.

Add water, oil, and egg. Stir well with a spatula until no dry flour is visible. Make sure to scrape off any remaining flour off the sides of the bowl.

Transfer the dough onto a clean and dry surface. Knead the dough until it turns into a soft and smooth dough ball, about 10 minutes. You can also knead the dough on medium speed in a stand mixer for 10 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough with plastic cling wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Use a bench scraper or knife to divide the dough into 4 pieces. Lightly flour a clean surface and a rolling pin. Take one piece of dough at a time and use a rolling pin to roll it out to 1/16-inch thickness.

Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. 

Combine the scraps into one dough ball and re-roll and repeat until all the dough is used up.

Use the wrappers immediately to prevent them drying out. To store, place in a floured sealable container or ziploc bag for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Learn how to make delicious homemade mandu (Korean dumplings) from scratch with these step-by-step instructions. Filled with pork, cabbage, chives, and Korean sweet potato noodles, these mandu couldn&#039;t be more delicious. Recipe makes 40 large dumplings.

Homemade Mandu (Korean Dumplings)

dumpling wrappers

oz napa cabbage

oz Korean glass noodles (dangmyeon)

lb pork

Asian chives

Asian leeks or green onion

sweet rice wine (mirim)

ginger paste

tbsp sesame oil

tsp black pepper

Korean chili flakes (gochugaru) (optional)

Chop napa cabbage finely and put it in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt and toss together; let it sit for 10 minutes. When the cabbage becomes lifeless, squeeze it out to get rid of moisture.

Boil Korean sweet potato noodles according to the package directions, about 6-7 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain well. Chop into small pieces.

Put pork, cabbage, chives, leeks, and noodles in a large mixing bowl. Season with soy sauce, sweet rice wine, ginger, sesame oil, and pepper; mix well with your hand until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

To make the mandu filling

Put a heaping tablespoon of filling in the middle of wrapper, wet the edges of wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges together. Bring the both ends toward the center. Pinch the ends together to complete.

To shape half moon dumplings

Put some filling in the middle of the wrapper and wet the edges with water using your finger. Bring one edge to the other and pinch in the center first, then make a small pleat on one side facing toward the center. Continue to make more pleats, usually about 4 pleats. Create the same number of pleats on the other side, facing the pleats toward the center.

To shape pleated dumplings

Bring a small amount of water in a large pot to boil. Make sure the bottom of your steamer doesn&#39;t touch the water. Place mandu without touching each other in a bamboo steamer (or regular steamer), lined with a cheese cloth or a steam liner. When the water boils, place the steamer over or in the pot. Cover and steam for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Meanwhile, make dipping sauce to go with dumplings. Combine all the sauce ingredients and drizzle it over dumplings.

To steam the mandu (dumplings)

Try these homemade dumpling wrappers for Korean mandu. It has softer and chewier texture than the regular dumpling wrappers.

Korean Homemade Dumpling Wrappers (Mandu-pi)

sweet rice flour (chapssal-garu)

tbsp constarch

water (+ 2 tbsp more, if needed)

To make the dumpling dough, mix flour, sweet rice flour, and cornstarch in a large mixing bowl.

Add oil and water; mix with a spoon. Do not add all the water at once. Gradually add water until it forms a rather thick dough. You can add more water if needed.

Knead the dough with your hand for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let the dough rest for 30 minutes in the room temperature or a few hours in the fridge. Bring to a room temperature before you roll out.

Roll the dough into a long log with about 1 1/2-inch in diameter.

To make large wrappers (5-inch), cut into 40-45 pieces. Each piece should weigh about 30g (1oz).  To make smaller wrappers (about 4-inch), cut into 55-60 pieces. Each piece should weigh about 20g (0.7oz).

Roll each dough pieces into a round wrapper with a small rolling pin, about 5-inch in diameter. Dust with flour before you put the next wrapper on top to prevent from sticking.

Making dumpling wrappers at home is easier than you may think. All you need is good old all-purpose flour, salt and water. The result is tender and chewy wrappers that are easy to work with. 

How to make homemade dumpling wrappers

all purpose flour (about 280 grams, more for dusting)

spinach

Add 2 cups of flour to a bowl. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 2/3 cup of hot water. Gradually add the water to the flour while mixing with a spoon and checking the moisture level.

Mix it by hand, squeezing and digging into the dough with your fingers, until the dough comes together, and knead with the heel of your hand until the dough is smooth but slightly stiff. You can adjust the dough by kneading in a little more flour or more water by a teaspoon or wetting your hands.

Cover with a plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes to an hour. After resting, the dough should feel soft and smooth. (This is a good time to start making the filling.)

Shape the dough into a rectangular/oval disk on a lightly floured work surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 3 long pieces.

Roll a piece with both hands to make a thin log, about 1-inch diameter and about 8-inch long. Cover the remaining dough to keep it from drying out.

Cut the log into 3/4-inch pieces (10 to 11 pieces). Press the cut side with your palm to flatten to a small disk. Dust and roll out each disk with a small rolling pin to a thin 3.5 to 4-inch circle. (You can also use a round cutter or wine glass to make a perfect round.) Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining 2 logs. It’s best to make a few wrappers at a time and wrap the filling in. Always cover the dough and wrappers that are not being used.

The dumpling wrappers can be stored for up to 2 days in the fridge. Dust each piece with cornstarch or potato starch before stacking up. Wrap the stacked dumpling wraps with a plastic, and keep it in an airtight plastic bag. You can also freeze the dough the same way.

Blanch the spinach in boiling water. Puree in a food processor. Run it through a sieve, pressing with a spoon, to extract green juice, about 2/3 cup. Add water if needed. Heat it up in the microwave to about 170°F. Follow the same steps for the wrappers above.
