Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt and lukewarm water to form a smooth, supple dough, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Slice the mushrooms and onion, crush the garlic, then fry everything in the oil for 10 minutes until the mushroom liquid has evaporated.
- Season the filling with salt, pepper and coriander, then let it cool completely.
- Divide the dough into small balls and roll them into thin discs about 8 cm across.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the centre of each disc, then pleat the edges together to form a pouch.
- Arrange the dumplings in an oiled steamer and steam for 12 to 15 minutes, covered, until the dough looks translucent.
- Serve hot with the spicy sauce.
