1. Wash your vegetables thoroughly and blanch them in a pot of boiling water. Transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Ring out all the water from the vegetables and chop very finely.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the vegetable, meat, wine, oil, sesame oil, salt, soy sauce, white pepper, and 2/3 cup water. Mix for 6-8 minutes, until very well-combined.
3. To wrap the dumplings, dampen the edges of each circle with some water. Put a little less than a tablespoon of filling in the middle. Fold the circle in half and pinch the wrapper together at the top. Then make two folds on each side, until the dumpling looks like a fan. Make sure it’s completely sealed. Repeat until all the filling is gone, placing the dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Make sure the dumplings aren’t sticking together.
4. If you’d like to freeze them, wrap the baking sheets tightly with plastic wrap and put the pans in the freezer. Allow them to freeze overnight. You can then take the sheets out of the freezer, transfer the dumplings to Ziploc bags, and throw them back in the freezer for use later.

1. If you are using ground meat in dumpling filling add seasonings now to marinate the meat. Note, do not add vegetables at this stage. Cover the ground meat and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour to a day. Re-hydrate and prep dry ingredients if you’re making vegetarian dumplings.
2. Attach dough blade to your mixer. Add flour into mixing bowl. Pour 1 cup hot water in the middle. Mix on low until the water is mostly incorporated. Stop mixer and scrape flour from the wall with a spatula. Mix on low until water is fully incorporated. Add room temperature water along the edge. Stir with spatula to mix. Start mixer on low until it forms a dough. If the dough won’t come together, keep adding cold water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until a dough is formed. The dough should be a bit springy, not sticking to the bowl, and not too tender. Add flour if the dough is too soft and doesn’t hold its shape. Keep kneading until the surface becomes smooth, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a working surface and knead a few times to shape into a dough ball.
3. Add flour into a large mixing bowl. Pour 1 cup hot water in the middle. Mix in a swirling motion to combine the flour in center of the bowl and leave some of the flour along the edge untouched. When the water is fully combined, add room temperature water along the edge in a swirling motion. Keep mixing until all the water is absorbed. Dust both hands with flour and start kneading to form dough. When dough has formed, dust the working surface with flour and dust hands again. Transfer the dough to the working surface and continue to knead it until its surface becomes smooth, about 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Brush a thin layer oil in a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and rest it for 30 minutes to 1 hour. If you don’t make the dumplings immediately, store the dough in the fridge for up to a day.
