Prepare the Steamer
Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Line the steamer baskets with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.

Steam the Dumplings
Place the assembled dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Cover and steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
