Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix until just combined, then gather the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- 2
Knead the dough lightly again. After resting, the flour will have absorbed the water and the dough should feel smooth—if so, it’s ready!
- 3
Divide the dough into 20 to 25 pieces. Roll the dough into a log and cut it into pieces with a bench scraper for speed. You can also weigh the pieces for even sizing.
- 4
If the cut edges are rough, it’s hard to roll them out into circles. Tuck the rough edges inward and shape each piece into a ball.
- 5
Flatten each ball with your palm to make it easier to roll out. Dust with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- 6
Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a circle, keeping the center slightly thicker. With practice, you’ll get better at rolling them out evenly!

I’ve updated the recipe and the number of pieces. Please try making it this way too! Hope you enjoy delicious dumplings!

Chunky Sweet Potato Dumplings Chunky Sweet Potato Dumplings
I thought that this particular type of dumplimgs were available nationwide, but a friend from another region didn't know about them, so I made them for her and wrote down the recipe while I was at it too.Storebought dumplings tend to be heavy with a lot of dough, and are often very sweet, so I reduced the dough, increased the potatoes and cut down on the sweetness.By sprinkling the sweet potato with sugar to bring out their moisture, the potatoes will become soft and flaky!Apparently "ogre dumplings (oni-manjuu)" were so named because of their rough texture, which reminded people of the bumpy sticks that oni (ogres from Japanese folklore) carried. Serve them in a hearty pile to enhance their rough bumpy appearance.Don't leave the sweet potatoes in the sugar in step 1 for too long, or the potatoes will lose their flavor. For 6 large + 3 small dumplings. Recipe by noeruchi cookpad.japan -
Easy Homemade! Gyoza Dumpling Skins Easy Homemade! Gyoza Dumpling Skins
I ran out of skins when I was making gyoza dumplings, so I tried making the skins in a hurry - and I was so surprised that they weren't that different from the store-bought kind!The consistency of the dough can vary depending on the room temperature, season, and type of flour used, so adjust the amount of hot water added.The dough should have a slightly firmer consistency than your earlobe. If you let the dough rest for some time it will be easier to roll out.When rolling out the dough, flour your hands and the rolling pin generously.Make boiled gyoza skins thick, and panfried gyoza skins thin and rectangular.
