Pointers from Rie

  • When you add oil to wheat flour, you can suppress the elasticity in the dumpling skin. This way, even a beginner can easily stretch the dumpling skin and it will go down the throat smoothly.
  • Use the rolling pin to stretch the skin outward from your body and turn the skin and repeat stretching it outward. By stretching the dumpling skin in the same direction, the middle of the skin will remain thick.
  • Separate the filling into the amount of dumplings you want to make beforehand to have equal sized dumplings.
