Directions

For the wraps:

Combine flour, water, salt and oil in a large bowl, adding water several tablespoons once and kneed the dough, until no dry flour left, the dough should be smooth and not sticky. You can also use blender.

Wrap the dough with a plastic wrap or a wet towel, let the dough sit at least 30 minutes.

(You can always buy the premade wraps in grocery store.)

For the filling:

At medium high temperature, in a non-stick pan, coat with cooking spray, add the eggs, let eggs spread evenly, until eggs are cooked through, no liquid left and use your wooden spoon to crush eggs into pieces. Transfer to a big bowl.

Put all the the ingredients into the same bowl, using the spoon to mix well. Seasoning with salt. Let the mixture sit for at least 20 minutes, the flavor will be better.

Then after the steps above:

Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface, using your hand to shape the dough into 15 inches long and 1 inch thick.

Then divide the dough into about 40 small doughs, then roll each dough into a circle wrap, about 3 inches diameter. To prevent the wrap stick together, make sure separate them.

Then each wrap need about 1 to 2 teaspoons filling, depends on how big your wraps are. Then fold the wrap, make sure seal very well. Repeat the steps until finish all the ingredients.

Put the dumplings into a big pot with boiled water, once all the dumplings float on top of the water, and pumped, about 6 to 8 minutes. Then take all of dumpling out. Serve warm.

For the dipping:

Chinese always use vinegar, some minced garlic, soy sauce is optional.

this is not chinese!

I watched the preparation or these (many times), both when in Northern China with her parents and back in North America and can confirm the authenticity.

This is a vegetarian Chinese dumpling recipe, so there is no meat added, but I ate vegetarian Chinese dumplings when I was traveling in China, there are all kinds of vegetarian dumplings, you can put whatever veggies you want, quite delicious.

This is the kind of recipe developped either by a Chinese person who has no decent palate or a non-Chinese who thinks he/she knows how to make Chinese dumpling. Olive oil?? Baked tofu? seriously??

I didn't even realize that smoked baked tofu was available until I saw it in a Chinese grocery store (in China). Many Chinese would argue that anything without pork isn't worth eating! Nothing could be farther from the truth.
