Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water, mixing with chopsticks or a fork until the mixture is cool enough to handle.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Assembling Dumplings

  1. 4

    Roll out the Dough

    Divide the rested dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter.

  2. 5

    Fill the Dumplings

    Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.

Cooking Dumplings

  1. 6

    Steam the Dumplings

    Place the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam for about 15-20 minutes until the filling is cooked through.

Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, and sugar until well combined.
