Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine the ground pork, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Once the chicken broth is set, cut it into small pieces and mix it into the pork mixture until well combined.

Roll the Dough

Fill the Dumplings
Place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each dough circle. Carefully pinch the edges of the dough together to seal, making pleats for a traditional look.

Steam the Dumplings
Place the dumplings in a steamer lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Steam over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is translucent and the filling is cooked through.
