Boiled or Panfried Dumpling Dough

If you'd like to make colored dumpling dough, refer to our instructions here. Add ½ pound of grated or chopped vegetables to a food processor or blender along with just enough of your ¾ cup water to get the machine going. Slowly add the remaining water while blending on medium speed, then high, until you get a smooth purée. Because you’re adding extra moisture to the dough, you’ll need to compensate with 1 to 2 cups additional flour, incorporated in the two kneading rounds; the dough will show you how much flour it needs. Adding these additional ingredients means you can scale up your filling amounts or freeze extra dough for later, triple-wrapped in plastic wrap.
