Advice
Be prepared that you may need more or less flour than stated in the recipe. Focus on the dough's consistency rather than the exact amount of flour.
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. You may need more or less flour and water than stated—adjust as needed. Choose refined, odorless vegetable oil. The amount of salt is approximate; adjust to your preference.
Step 2
Place the flour into a deep bowl. You can sift it—not for fluffiness, but to aerate it and remove any debris. Add salt and mix well.
Step 3
Boil the water. Pour vegetable oil into the flour, followed by the boiling water. Be careful not to burn yourself. Start with half the water—pour it in and mix. Then add the rest, mixing again. Begin kneading with a fork, then use your hands. Check the dough’s texture: if it’s too dry, add more water; if too sticky, add flour. I prefer adjusting the dough’s consistency with liquid, so I don’t pour all the water in at once.
Step 4
Once the dough forms a ball, transfer it to a floured surface and continue kneading for about 10 minutes until smooth and uniform. Over time, it will stop sticking to your hands and the surface. When this happens, shape it into a ball.
Step 5
Place the dough ball in a plastic bag and let it rest for about 30 minutes. During this time, the flour will fully absorb the water, making the dough elastic and easy to work with.
Step 6
Rested dough rolls out very thinly.
Step 7
It also cuts well without sticking to the cutter, making it convenient for shaping dumplings of any size and form. The dough holds together well when boiled.
Step 8
Egg-free dough can be frozen, and after thawing, it retains its properties. Enjoy your meal!
