Ingredients

  • 100 g plain flour *1 1 cup
  • 100 g bread flour 1 cup
  • 100 ml water 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp, boiling hot
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil 2

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place plain flour and bread flour in a large mixing bowl and stir. 
  2. Add boiling hot water and combine them all together with a pair of chopsticks to make like crumble.
  3. Add sesame seed oil and continue to mix them all together.
  4. When it becomes crumbled, use your hands to squash them together to make a ball. 
  5. Wrap with cling wrap and rest for about 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the cling wrap and knead the dough for a few minutes on a lightly floured bench top. When the dough surface becomes smooth, cover with cling wrap again and rest it for further 30 minutes.
  7. Divide the dough into two equal amounts. Roll out flat on a lightly floured surface to about 0.04 inch thick(1mm) with a rolling pin.  
  8. Cut out the dough into a round shape using a 4 inch (11cm) diameter large cooking cutter. 
  9. Continue to cut with the cutter until all dough is cut out. It will make about 30 wrappers. 
  10. Remove excess flour before using it to wrap the filling. 

Notes

  • All-purpose flour can replace the flour mix using 2 cups (200 g) instead of separate plain and bread flours.
  • Sesame oil adds a nutty aroma but can be substituted with any neutral vegetable oil.
  • Wrap and store unused wrappers tightly in the fridge for a few days with parchment sheets between to prevent sticking.
  • Frozen wrappers can be kept for about one month; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before use.
