Instructions
- 1
Make the dough: Whisk together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm water gradually, stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, then knead by hand for 5–6 minutes until smooth and slightly elastic. The dough should feel soft but not sticky — add water a teaspoon at a time if it tears, or a dusting of flour if it sticks. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and rest for 30 minutes.

Make the filling: Place the shredded cabbage in a colander, toss with a pinch of salt, and let stand for 10 minutes, then squeeze firmly with your hands to remove as much liquid as possible. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed cabbage, crumbled tofu, scallion greens, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
