4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup carrots (finely chopped or shredded)
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms (fresh or dried (rehydrated))
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

    Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper for flavor.
  3. Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the dough into small balls and roll them into thin circles.
