Ingredients
  

  • 250 g shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 red bird’s eye chili finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 handful scallions finely sliced
  • 125 g all-purpose flour
  • 25 g tapioca flour
  • 80 g boiling water
  • q.s. dusting cornstarch or rice flour for dusting

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Sharp Knife or Food Processor
  • Bamboo Steamer
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cornstarch or Rice Flour

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and tapioca flour; gradually add boiling water and stir until combined.
  2. Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth; cover with a damp cloth and let rest.
  3. Chop shiitake mushrooms into small pieces; heat sesame oil in a pan and cook the mushrooms until caramelized.
  4. Add garlic and chili to the mushrooms, then stir in soy sauce and scallions; let the mixture cool completely.
  5. Take a dumpling wrapper, place a heaping teaspoon of filling at the center, and fold to seal, making pleats if desired.
  6. Place folded dumplings in a bamboo steamer lined with parchment paper; steam over boiling water for about 10 minutes.

Notes

If you don’t have shiitake mushrooms, you can substitute with cremini or portobello mushrooms.
For a quicker process, use store-bought dumpling skins.
Freezing uncooked dumplings on a tray before transferring them to a freezer bag helps prevent sticking.
Serve with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil to elevate the flavor.
Make sure to cover unused wrappers with a damp towel to keep them pliable during the folding process.
