Homemade Dumplings (Dough From Scratch)

Mix the flour and salt. Add water and egg white and combine with your hands. Knead the dough until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes. Knead the dough again then roll into a log. Cut that into 2 pieces and then roll out the small logs again. Cut into 6 pieces (about 12 total). Roll out each piece to a round dumpling wrapper, keeping the surface dusted with flour to avoid sticking.

For the filling, saute the onions, garlic and ginger in the sesame oil over medium heat. Add remaining ingredients and sauté for an additional 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Add the mixture to the center of each dumpling wrapper and fold the ends up (I recommend YouTubing this part!). Brush the bottom of the dumplings with water and coat with sesame seeds.

Place the dumplings in a hot pan over medium heat, then add 3 tbsp water and cover to let them steam.

Serve with your dipping sauce and enjoy!! Makes about a dozen dumplings.
