Ingredients
For the Dumpling Filling:

-
1/2 cup cabbage, finely chopped
-
2 green onions, chopped
-
1 tsp ginger, grated
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp sesame oil
-
1 tsp rice vinegar
-
1/2 tsp ground pepper
-
Salt to taste
For the Flatbread:
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 cup warm water
-
2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
For the Dipping Sauce:
-
2 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp rice vinegar
-
1 tsp sesame oil
-
1 tsp honey (or sugar)
-
1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the dumpling filling:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork (or chicken/tofu), chopped cabbage, green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
-
-
Make the flatbread dough:
-
In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly add the warm water, stirring to form a dough.
-
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
-
-
Form the flatbreads:
-
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball, then flatten each ball into a small round disc (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
-
Place about 1 tablespoon of the dumpling filling in the center of each disc. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges to seal the dumplings inside the dough.
-
-
Cook the stuffed flatbreads:
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Place the stuffed flatbreads in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed to prevent sticking.
-
Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside to cool slightly.
-
-
Prepare the dipping sauce:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and chili flakes (if using). Adjust the seasoning to taste.
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve the Speedy Dumpling Stuffed Flatbreads warm with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Notes
-
You can swap out the ground pork or chicken for other proteins like beef or shrimp, or make the filling entirely vegetarian with tofu or mushrooms.
-
For a more complex flavor, add some chopped cilantro or mint to the filling.
-
These flatbreads are best eaten fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet before serving.
