Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Tapioca starch
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Hot water
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 cups Cabbage, finely shredded
• 0.5 cups Carrot, grated
• 0.5 cups Mushrooms, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoons Ginger, minced
• 2 stalks Scallions, finely sliced
• 2 tablespoons Tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (such as avocado or vegetable oil)
• 0.25 cups Water (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, and salt. Gradually add the hot water while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms.

Step 2

Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Step 4

Add the cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Remove from heat, stir in the scallions and tamari, and set aside to cool.

Step 5

Divide the rested dough into small equal pieces (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each piece into a thin circle, approximately 3 inches in diameter, dusting with tapioca starch as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges together to seal tightly, pleating if you like.

Step 7

Heat the cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings flat-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 5-6 minutes, or until the water evaporates and the dumplings are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the dumplings from the skillet and serve warm with gluten-free dipping sauce like tamari, chili oil, or rice vinegar.
