It’s all depending on the quality of the flour, some may need 210 ml of water and some may need less than 200 ml to have perfectly knead dough

Add flour if dough is too soft) Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes
Heat up oil in a wok, add in the garlic and sauté till fragrant
Then add the carrots and cook till soft, follow by mushrooms
Add in the sauce ingredients and stir for another 2 minutes
Turn off the heat, lastly add in the chinese chives and mix well
Let it cool completely before use
Take out the dough from the bowl and knead for a few seconds
Divide the dough into 24 pieces (about 40g per piece)
Roll each piece into a circle (about 4 1/2 inch in diameter)
Place the fillings in the middle and seal it in the same way as to fold a dumpling
Place the fold side down and gently patch it flat
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan, place the fold side down and cover it
Cook with medium low heat
Flip the chives box until both side are golden brown
