Dough Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix thoroughly before adding the egg, warm water, and olive oil. Blend until a smooth dough forms, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Fillings Preparation
  1. While the dough rests, mix diced vegetables and meat in a bowl; season with soy sauce, garlic powder, and fresh ginger.
Rolling and Cutting
  1. Roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut out circles or squares and re-roll scraps to maximize yield.
Filling Dumplings
  1. Place filling on dough, fold and seal tightly. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.

Serving
  1. Transfer cooked dumplings to a platter and serve warm with dipping sauce or broth.
