Recipe: Chinese Jiaozi / Leeks and Pork Dumplings (韭菜饺子)
Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup of chopped chinese chives (韭菜)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon rice wine
A few dashes of white pepper powder
5 drops of sesame oil
For the skin:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
For dipping:
Black vinegar
Method:
Mix the flour with water and knead it for about 20-25 minutes or until the dough gets soft. Separate the dough into two equal portions and roll them into cylinders (about 1 inch in diameter). Cover them with wet towel and set aside.
Prepare the chives by chopping off the root (white part) of the chives. Use only the green part. Mix the chives with ground pork and add all the seasonings. Chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
To prepare the skin, cut the dough into 1/4 in. length and use a rolling pin to flatten it until it becomes a round skin about 3 inch in diameter. Put a small spoonful of filling into the center of the skin and seal it up tightly with your fingers. (No pleating is needed for this recipe).
Heat up a pot of hot water until it boils. Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cover the pot. As soon as the dumplings start to float (meaning they are cooked), dish them out on a serving plate. Serve hot with black vinegar.

Hello!
I just had my first attempt at making the wrappers myself using a glutinous flour, but that doesn’t seem to work ; the wrapper rips before you can make it into a dumpling. Which flour would you recommend? Thanks!
All purpose flour you can’t use glutinous flour to make the wrapper
