2 cloves garlic
1 cup diced mushrooms
1 cup finely chopped bak choy
1/2 cup finely chopped coriander
2 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice wine

1. Wrappers – In a stand mixer, mix the flour, salt, Suncore Foods® Red Beet Powder and boiling water until you have a rough ball shape. Dust your work surface with flour. Remove from the bowl and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Divide the dough into two and rest for 20 minutes. Divide each piece of rested dough into 16 even-sized pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a small ball and then flatten it. Dust your working surface again. Take one piece of dough and press it to a round disc. Rotate the wrapper when moving your rolling pin. Repeat the process, rotate the wrapper-roll and rotate the wrapper-roll. The wrappers will have thicker center and thinner edges naturally.
2. Filling – In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat, add all filling ingredients excluding tofu, bak choy and corianders. Cook mixture until fragrant and mushrooms cooked off. Add tofu, bak choy, and stir-fry for another 2-3 mins. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and allow to cool. Then add the corianders and mix well. Fill and seal the dumplings. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the dumplings flat side down for about 2 minutes until a golden crust forms on the bottom. Add the 1/4 cup water and immediately cover with a lid and let the steam cook the dumplings for 8 minutes or until all the water has evaporated. Remove the lid and let the dumplings to cook for a further minute until they lift off from the bottom of the pan easily. Enjoy!
