Dough Preparation
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add Water
Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
Mix Filling Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Assembling Dumplings
Roll Out Dough
After resting, divide the dough into small pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.
Add Filling
Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold and Seal
Fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Cooking Dumplings
Steam or Boil
You can either steam the dumplings for 15 minutes or boil them in salted water for 5-7 minutes until they float.
Serve
Remove the dumplings from the heat. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
