How do you make dumplings from plain flour?

Answer 1

1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 cup cooking oil, 1/2 cup of milk. Mix together and drop spoonfuls on top of finished stew or other soup type recipes, cover and cook till done.. 5 to 10 minutes. This is just off the top of my head, but it will produce a dumpling.

Answer 2

Here is an easy recipe for fried dumplings:

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon hot Chinese-style mustard

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

(1 lb. pan cooked ground pork - optional)

1 (14-ounce) can chow mein vegetables, rinsed and drained very well

24 square wonton wrappers

1/2 cup canola oil

sesame seeds

For dipping: soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and hot Chinese-style mustard

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Blend first 4 ingredients in a food processor. Add vegetables. Using on/off turns, pulse until vegetables are just minced. Drain excess liquid from vegetable mixture. (if you're using cooked pork add it now) Arrange 12 wonton wrappers on work surface. Lightly brush edges of wrappers with water. Spoon 1 tablespoon vegetable mixture into center of each wrapper. Top with remaining wonton wrappers, pressing to enclose filling completely. Using ravioli cutter or sharp knife, cut edges of wontons. Heat canola oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry dumplings until just golden, about 1 minute per side. Bake until dumplings are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer dumplings to serving tray. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with dipping sauce.
