The Pasta/Dough
Make the dough by mixing the flour, oil, salt (and optional turmuric) in a bowl. Slowly pour in the cold water a little at a time, mixing as you go. When the dough starts to come to gether turn it out onto a floured worksurface and kneed untill even.
Place the dough in an air tight bag or container (or cover with cling film) and leave in the fridge for at least half an hour.
The Filling
If you are using cabbage in your filling finely chop it and mix in a few tablespoons of salt. Leave for at least half an hour to wilt. When ready wash off the excess salt and squeeze the moisture out.
Finely chop the garlic, fresh ginger, onion and chili. Some consider the chili to be optional, but not many. If you are using a food processor make sure that it doesnt purée it too much.
