How to make dumplings

Step 1: Make the crust dough

Mix the dough: In a large bowl, add the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Continue adding the milk to the flour mixture, knead by hand or with a mixer until the dough is soft, smooth and not sticky. Add a little cooking oil and knead for another 5 minutes.

Proofing: Cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Proof the dough in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Make the filling

Add cooking oil and saute shallots until fragrant, add minced meat and stir-fry until cooked. Add wood ear mushrooms, green onions and season with salt, pepper and sugar to taste.

Let the filling cool, divide into small balls, each ball with 1-2 quail eggs.

Step 3: Mold the cake

After the dough has risen, knead it lightly and divide it into equal portions (about 40-50g each). Roll the dough into a flat, round piece. Place the cooked filling in the middle, wrap it up and shape it into a bun.

Step 4: Steam the cake

Prepare a steamer, lining the bottom of each cake with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bring water to a boil, then steam the cake over medium heat for about 20 minutes. When done, the skin will be soft and a beautiful white color.

Tips for making dumplings

To make the dumplings white and beautiful, add a few drops of vinegar to the steaming water. You can vary the filling to vegetarian or non-vegetarian according to your preference.

If you don't have yeast, you can substitute baking powder but the cake will be less fluffy.
