Mix all the ingredients together and let them sit at room temperature.

Combine sweet white rice flour, tapioca flour, and xanthan gum in a bowl and whisk together.

Add warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5-6 minutes until it becomes pliable.

Pinch and press the dough into a disc shape, then use a tortilla press to create dumpling wrappers.

Fill each wrapper with about a teaspoon of filling and seal them by pressing and crimping the edges.
