Method
Dumpling Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add boiling water while stirring with chopsticks or a fork until the dough begins to come together.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Once the dough has cooled enough to handle, knead it on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Pork Filling Preparation

Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a circle about 3 inches in diameter.

Fill the Dumplings
Place a tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Pan-Frying
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet, making sure they are not touching.

Add Water
Once the dumplings are browned on the bottom (about 3-4 minutes), carefully add 1 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately.

Steam and Cook
Allow the dumplings to steam for about 6-8 minutes until cooked through, and the water has evaporated. Uncover and let them cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
