* Makes 20 dumplings
== Ingredients ==
=== Dough ===
* 1 package (7 grams) dry yeast or 2 oz. fresh yeast
* 1 cup warm water
* 4 cups flour
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tbsp water (egg glaze)
=== Stuffing ===

== Directions ==
# Dissolve the yeast in ½ cup warm water and let it proof for 10 minutes.
# Put the flour into a large bowl.
# Mix in the salt and yeast mixture and gradually add ½ cup water, or enough to prepare a soft moist dough.
# Knead the dough for 5 minutes, sprinkling with flour if necessary to ease handling.
# Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 hour.
# Punch down the dough, which is now ready to prepare the dumplings.
# Mix the pumpkin and the onions together in a pan.
# Cover and cook over low heat for ½ hour or more to reduce the bulk and soften the vegetables.
# Considerable liquid may accumulate.
# Uncover the pan and cook for 10 minutes more.
# Drain the mixture through a metal sieve to pour off all the liquid.
# Turn out into a bowl and stir in the chile flakes. Cool.
# Roll out the dough into a long sausage shape about 3 inches in diameter.
# Pull off ⅓ cup dough, about 2 ounces, and roll this out into a pancake about 4 inches in diameter and ¼ inch thick.
# Put 1 generous tablespoon of the stuffing into the center and fold over the top toward the center.
# Then fold the left and right sides over toward the center to shape a closed triangle.
# Pinch the folds together to seal.
# Paint the top of the dumpling with egg glaze and put on an oiled baking sheet.
# Bake in a 325°F oven for 20 minutes to brown the top.
# Serve warm.
