Handmade Chinese dumpling wraps

Dumplings are a traditional Chinese comfort food and it is also one of many most celebrated food during Chinese new year. My family loves dumplings, so I would make a few hundreds of them each time, then I would freeze and pack them for later. I started with store bought dumpling wraps. It was very convenient and less time consuming to have something fresh and healthy eat. Later on, I learned how to make the wraps from scratch.

Dumpling Dough Recipe (about 80 wraps)

• 4 cups all-purpose flour + extra a cup flour on the side
• 1.5 cup water
• A pinch Salt

Direction: Add flour into a large bowl. Slowly stir water into the bowl, combine both water and flour together. Dust a prepping surface with some of the extra flour, transfer the preformed dough to the surface and start to knead until it is smooth on surface. Then cover the dough to rest for at least for an hour. Then knead for a few more minutes, then rest for another half hour. Now the dough is ready to make into wraps.

A couple steps before making into wraps. Cut the dough into strips, dust with flour then roll and back and forth until they are in nice and even dome shapes(about 1" diameter), then cut then into 3/4" thick nuggets, sprinkle them with more flour dusts, then flat each of them into coin shapes by pam and put them aside for rolling into wraps.
