In China, dumplings are an indispensable part of Chinese New Year, especially in Northeast China. I grew up in a rural village in Northeast China, and dumplings are familiar to me.

1. First, pour a suitable amount of flour into the basin.
2. Pour half a bowl of cold water and stir until smooth. I heard that adding salt will make the dough more elastic, but I didn't because my dough is already elastic.
3. Pour in a little water first, then stir with chopsticks. (Note: When pouring water, pour it little by little, stir until smooth, and don't pour too much.)
4. Stir the dough with chopsticks. If there isn't enough water, add more and continue stirring. It should be not stick to your hands.
