  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/6 tsp salt

  • 100 g chives diced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 inch ginger
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce

  • 1 tsp chinese cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

Preparation

  1. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms and walnuts overnight to soften

  2. In a measuring cup mix water, sugar and yeast

  3. Let sit for a few minutes until foamy

  4. Mix the dry ingredients together then pour in the yeast mixture and oil

  5. Mix until a sticky dough forms

  6. Pour out onto a floured work surface

  7. With floured hands, knead the dough for 3-4 minutes, dusting with flour whenever it starts to stick

  8. You should get a dough that is smooth, no longer sticky and springs back when you poke it

  9. Shape into a ball and let rise covered with a kitchen towel in an oiled bowl for 1 hour or until doubled in size

  10. Add all the filling ingredients into a food processor and pulse until you reach your desired texture

  11. Fewer pulses for a chunkier filling and vice versa

  12. If it seems too dry, add in the reserved mushroom water a tablespoon at a time

  13. On a floured working surface, divide the dough into 8-10 equal parts

  14. Roll each part into a small rectangle, fold the opposite sides towards the center and turn upside down

  15. Pinch down the sides of the dough and rotate to produce a smooth round ball

  16. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out

  17. Flatten each ball of dough into a small round

  18. Then start to roll only the edges of the dough, rotating the round 45° after each roll

  19. The edges should be thinner than the center
