Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the Dumpling Dough
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling
In a separate bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Assemble the Dumplings
After the dough has rested, divide it into small balls (about the size of a walnut). Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal them tightly.

Cook the Dumplings
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the dumplings in a single layer and fry for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Add a splash of water (about 1/4 cup), cover with a lid, and steam for an additional 5 minutes until cooked through.
