  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately 3 (12 dumplings) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup filtered water
  • 1/2 cup Korean kimchi, well-fermented
  • 1/2 cup firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine flour and water until a rough dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Filling: In another bowl, mix crumbled tofu, kimchi, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
  3. Roll Out the Wrappers: Divide rested dough into small pieces and roll each piece into thin circles (approximately 3 inches in diameter). Keep covered to prevent drying.
  4. Fill Your Dumplings: Place about one tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold over and pinch edges tightly to seal.
  5. Cook the Dumplings: Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add dumplings and cook until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes). Add water to steam and cover immediately; cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
  6. Savor Every Bite: Remove from heat and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
