Ingredients

Dumpling Dough

  • 2 cups (10 oz) All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (8 oz) Boiled water
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate Ganache Filling

  • 8 oz Chopped chocolate
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream

Strawberry Dipping Sauce

  • ½ lb Strawberries
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2-1 tbsp Lemon juice to taste
  • ½ tsp Cornstarch

Instructions

Homemade Dumpling Dough

  • Add flour and salt into a large bowl. Slowly pour in just-boiled water. Mix the dough together with a fork or chopsticks until water is absorbed. Use your fingers to grab the dough and pinch together to form a cohesive dough ball.
  • Knead for 2-3 min until the dough is round and smooth. Place dough in a ziplock bag or cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 min or up to 3 hours

Chocolate Ganache

  • Add chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl. Warm-up heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers. Pour heavy cream over the chocolate. Using a spatula mix until the chocolate has melted. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Assembly

  • Take the dough and cut it in half. Roll half the dough into 1 in thick rope and place the other half back into the plastic so it doesn’t dry out.
  • Cut each rope of dough into 16 equal pieces, for a total of 32 pieces. Press the dough with the palm of your hand to form a flat disc. Roll out dough into a 4” round circle.
  • Take one wrapper and fill with 1 tbsp of ganache. Tightly pleat by pinching the dough in a circle and seal about 12-14 pinches. When you reach the end of the circle continue pinching around the center two or three times to fully seal the dumpling.
  • Place the formed dumpling on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dumplings.

Steam the Dumplings

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Line your steamer with perforated parchment paper. Fill the steamer with dumplings, spaced 1/2 inch apart. Cover the steamer with the lid and steam for 6-7 minutes.

Strawberry sauce

  • Dice up the strawberries into small pieces. Mix the lemon and cornstarch together in a small bowl to make a slurry.
  • In a saucepan mix together the strawberries, sugar, lemon, and cornstarch and cook over medium heat until it simmers and reduces into a paste about 10-15 minutes.

Notes

  • Chill the chocolate ganache in the refrigerator to harden before assembling the dumplings.
  • Tightly pleat the dumplings and make sure there aren't any holes to risk explosions.
  • Line the steamer with parchment paper to keep the dumplings from sticking.
