Dumpling wrapper and preparing the dumplings
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup boiling water, set aside for a minute or so
pinch of salt
Filling - yields about 4 cups of filling
2 cups cabbage, finely chopped
1 cup carrot, finely chopped
2-3 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
1/2 cup shiitake or crimini mushrooms, finely chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon ginger, finely minced
1/2 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
a generous sprinkle of sugar
salt to taste
1 tablespoon sesame oil

1
Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt into the flour. Create a well in the middle of the flour, and start by adding the just-boiled water slowly into the flour. Start rubbing the water into the dough and slowly form a smooth ball. Knead the dough vigorously with the heel of the your palm for a few minutes. The dough should feel smooth and pliable, and similar to a baby's skin. Put the dough into a ziplock bag and rest for 15 minutes.
2
Meanwhile prepare the filling (see below). Divide the dough into approximately 24 balls. Keep the balls covered, and also cover the prepared dumplings with a dry cloth as you finish stuffing them. Roll out dumpling balls into wrappers individually with a rolling pin. The shape should be roughly a 3 to 4 inch circle or oval and should be fairly thin. Stuff with filling and fold into a half moon shape and seal the edges by pinching together.
3
Bring a steamer to boil. Line the steamer with cabbage leaves or oil well. Steam the dumplings for 6-7 minutes until translucent. Serve immediately and eat hot with spicy ketchup.
4
Toss all the filling ingredients together. If you want to store the filling, I recommend not adding the salt and sugar as these cause the raw vegetables to release moisture.
