Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until well combined.

Boil water in a pot, using about a quarter of a cup.

Roll the dough into dumplings and add them to the boiling water, covering the pot immediately.

Cook the dumplings for about 10 minutes, ensuring the pot is covered to prevent overflow.

Cook the spinach until wilted, about 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
