Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the hot water while stirring with a fork until the mixture comes together. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-10 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Fill the Dumplings
Place a small spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the pork filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal tightly, making sure no filling escapes.
Cooking the Dumplings

Steam or Pan-Fry
To steam, place the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper and steam over boiling water for about 15 minutes. To pan-fry, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the dumplings, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown. Add a splash of water to the skillet, cover, and let them steam for another 5-7 minutes.
Dipping Sauce Preparation

Mix the Sauce
