Directions

Step 1

Remove any moisture using kitchen towel until it is dry. Add diced shitake mushroom, spring onion, soy, sesame oil. Mix well and leave them in the fridge till you are ready. 

Step 2 Combine Wheat flour, Tapioca Flour, CornflourSugar and Salt in a medium bowl. Add 200g of hot boiling water use a fork and mix them quickly then cover the bowl for 3-4 minutes for the flour mixture to cook.
Step 3 Now you can add a teaspoon of oil and start to knead until it is smooth. Cover the dough with damp towel or glas wrap.
Step 4 You will cut the dough into 24 pieces. First, roll the dough into a long sausage about 60cm. Then cut it into 8 equal small sausages. Then cut each small sausage into small square pieces. Cover the dough so they are not dry out!
Step 5 Work quickly by using a roller to roll the dough into 10-12 cm wrapper. Do not stuck them on top of each other. Place a teaspoon of filling on each wrapper. 
Step 6 Fold the dumpling into half moon shape. Make sure it cover all the edges. Bring the pointy end together to create a hat dumpling. If they will dry out a bit, we will need a little water around the edge to seal the dumpling. Keep making them till you finish with the fillings and the dough.
