Method
Dough Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add Water
Slowly add the boiling water to the flour while stirring with chopsticks or a fork until the mixture begins to come together.
Knead Dough
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Rest Dough
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
Prepare Filling
In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Dumpling Assembly
Roll Dough
After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces (about 1 inch each) and roll each piece into a small circle (about 3 inches in diameter).
Add Filling
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle.
Seal Dumplings
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Steaming
Prepare Steamer
Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
Arrange Dumplings
Place the dumplings in the steamer, making sure they are not touching each other.
Steam Dumplings
Steam the dumplings over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until the dough is cooked through.
