Easy Homemade! Gyoza Dumpling Skins

1. 1

   Put the flour in a bowl and add the hot water little by little until a crumbly dough is formed.

2. 2

   Don't keep adding hot water even if some is left over; test the texture of the dough instead.

3. 3

   The dough will come together as you knead it.

4. 4

   If the dough is too stiff, add a little bit of hot water until it's just a bit stiffer than the texture of your earlobe to adjust.

5. 5

   When the dough comes together, roll it into a ball and wrap in plastic film.

6. 6

   Leave it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, and make the filling in the meantime.
