Wrapped in tender dumpling wrappers and boiled to perfection, they are served with a tangy soy-vinegar dipping sauce for a light yet satisfying bite.

- 130 grams firm tofu
- 150 grams lotus root
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions:
Grate the lotus root finely and squeeze excess moisture from the tofu using a cloth.
Chop the chives finely and grind the sesame seeds. Combine with the tofu and lotus root, and season with salt.
Roll out the dumpling wrappers to a suitable thickness. Use a round object to cut them into circles if needed.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper, fold it over and crimp the edges to seal, forming a half-moon shape.
Boil the dumplings in hot water until they float to the surface.
Serve with a dipping sauce made by mixing soy sauce, vinegar and chili powder.
