Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid adding extra water to the dough—since the tofu already contains moisture, make sure to manage its hydration carefully by crushing it with a knife rather than squeezing it through cloth.
• Adding beef will make the dumplings tough and dry, so use only pork shoulder with balanced fat content for a consistently tender result.
• Because the dumpling pancake is thick, cooking over high heat will burn the outside before the inside is done—maintain low heat throughout the entire frying process.
• Any leftover dumpling dough can be shaped and stored in an airtight container, layered with plastic wrap, and frozen for up to 2–3 months.
