Instructions: What you’ll do

1. Prepare the filling:

• Mix the minced meat, onion, and garlic together.
• Add water until the mass is smooth enough to work with.
• Add salt and pepper (some families add caraway).

2. Prepare the dough:

• Mix the flour, water, and salt to create a pliable dough.
• Let it rest for 15 minutes.

3. Roll the dough into a tube shape.

4. Tear off pieces of the tube and roll them into circular shapes. Make sure the center is thicker than the edge.

5. Place a ball of the filling in the center of each.

6. Pinch the edges at the top, leaving a gap as a vent.

7. Dip the bottom in vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

8. Steam the dumplings for 20 minutes.
