Are chive dumplings made with leavened or unleavened dough?

Chive dumplings are one of our favorite foods in life, especially for people in the north, who eat them for breakfast every morning.

So, is the vegetable box made of leavened dough or unleavened dough? How should it be made specifically?

Is the dough of the vegetable box leavened or unleavened?

The noodles of leek dumplings are unleavened. But you need to blanch half of the dough with boiling water and mix the other half with cold water. The dough of the leek box made by kneading them together will be softer and taste better when eaten. But everyone’s taste is different. If you want it softer, blanch the noodles more; if you want it harder, blanch the noodles less.
