ABOUT THE RECIPE

After you assemble the dumplings—a fun family activity—a quick pan-fry is all they need to achieve the perfect, golden-brown exterior. Enjoy these traditional dumplings as an appetizer, entree or even dessert!

A NOTE ON MEASUREMENTS
We work with chefs from all around the world, which is why we include both imperial (cups/ounces) and metric (grams) measurements. To achieve best results, we highly recommend that you utilize a kitchen scale and follow the metric measurements when possible.
PREPARATION
PONZU SAUCE
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well. Store in the fridge (up to a week).
WRAPPERS
Mix flour, water, and cornstarch in a bowl. Knead with your hand. When the ball is medium firm, let rest for 10-15 minutes, covered. Knead it into a smooth ball. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Make a loop / rope with the dough. Cut it into equal sections. Press each section into a small disc with the palm of your hand. Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough into a thin disc.
