Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Hot water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Green cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 2 Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add hot water while stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Add vegetable oil and knead the dough with your hands until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

To make the filling, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add chopped green cabbage, grated carrot, and green onions to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft.

Step 6

Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the filling cool completely.

Step 8

After the resting period, divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll each piece into a long cylinder about 1 inch in diameter, and cut each cylinder into 10 equal pieces.

Step 9

Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a round disk about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.

Step 10

Place about 1 tablespoon of the vegetable filling in the center of each disk.

Step 11

Brush the edges of the dough with a bit of beaten egg, then fold the disk in half over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

Step 12

Press the edges together firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.

Step 13

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Step 14

Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface and are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 15

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
