Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Sift the flour into a bowl, then add salt and oil.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring the dough with a spatula.

Step 4

Knead the dough until it is elastic and does not stick to your hands. If it is still sticky, add a little more flour. Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and let it rest for 30 minutes to an hour.

Step 5

Dice the eggplants into small cubes and sauté them with spices in a small amount of vegetable oil.

Step 6

Add finely chopped (or crumbled) tofu and peas (if frozen, thaw them first). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin sheet.

Step 8

Cut out circles using a glass, place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each, and fold the dumplings. If you are making dumplings to store, as they are ready, lay them on a cutting board and place them in the freezer. Once they are firm, transfer them to a bag and store them in the freezer.
