Dumpling wrappers:

• 500 grams All Purpose Flour
• 380 grams water (around 80℃)
• 2 grams salt

Scallion-ginger water:

• 50 grams scallions
• 50 grams ginger
• 200 grams water

Dumpling filling:

• 300 grams ground meat
• 200 grams Chinese chives
• 3 grams salt
• 2 grams sugar
• 1 gram white pepper powder
• 2 grams chicken bouillon
• 10 grams cooking wine
• 4 grams dark soy sauce
• 2 grams light soy sauce
• 10 grams chopped scallions

• 1. Make the dough: Measure the All Purpose Flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Gradually add the water (around 80℃) while stirring with chopsticks until it forms lumpy dough. Knead the dough until smooth, then let it rest and ferment for 20-30 minutes.
• 2. Prepare the dumpling filling: Shred the scallions and slice the ginger. Soak them in water for 20 minutes to make scallion-ginger water. In a bowl, add leeks, salt, sugar, white pepper, chicken essence, cooking wine, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and chopped green onion with minced meat and mix well. Gradually add the scallion-ginger water in three portions, stirring in the same direction each time until the water is fully absorbed before adding the next portion. The mixed filling should have a slightly white color and sticky texture.
• 3. Make the dumpling wrappers: Dust the cutting board with flour. Take the fermented dough and roll it into a long strip. Divide it into 20-gram portions and roll each portion into a round ball. Flatten the ball and roll it out into a dumpling wrapper.
• 4. Assemble the dumplings: Place an oval-shaped portion of the filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper.
• Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges together, making a pleat on one side. Repeat this process on the left and right sides until the dumpling is tightly sealed.
• 5. Place the assembled dumplings on the steaming tray lined with oil paper. Put it on the third layer of the Bosch 4D Hot Air Steam Oven. Select ‘Steam+” and use 120 °C to steam 15 mins.
