Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Gradually add a large egg, warm water, and olive oil, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Aim for a soft, pliable consistency, adjusting with more flour if needed.
  4. On a floured surface, knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until elastic and well-combined.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a separate bowl, mix your diced vegetables, diced meat or tofu, soy sauce, garlic powder, and fresh ginger. Stir until combined.
Dumpling Assembly
  1. Roll out the dough into a thin layer on a floured surface.
  2. Use a round cutter to cut small circles about 3-4 inches in diameter.
  3. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold the dough over, and seal the edges.
Cooking Dumplings
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil or prepare a steamer.
  2. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water; they will float when cooked, usually about 10-15 minutes.
Serving
  1. Remove the dumplings using a slotted spoon, serve warm with dipping sauces or in broth.
