Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 cup mung bean flour, 1/2 cup finely chopped shiitake mushrooms, 1/2 cup grated carrots, 3 sliced green onions, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix until a cohesive dough forms; rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Divide dough into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a 3-inch circle. Place 1 tablespoon filling in center, fold in half, and seal edges by crimping with a fork.
Step 3: Bring 6 cups vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh ginger. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to infuse flavor.
Step 4: Add 12 dumplings to broth. Cook for 8 minutes until dumplings float and filling is heated through. Stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 4 sliced scallions. Simmer 2 more minutes before serving.
