Method
Dumpling Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring with chopsticks or a fork until a rough dough forms. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Once the dough is cool enough to handle, knead it on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- 3
Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, grated zucchini, chopped green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Dumpling Assembly
- 4
Roll the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into small pieces (about 1 inch each). Roll each piece into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.
- 5
Fill the Dumplings
Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
Cooking the Dumplings
- 6
Pan-Fry the Dumplings
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Steam the Dumplings
Carefully add water to the skillet, cover immediately, and reduce heat to medium. Steam the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
- 8
Serve
Once cooked, remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional minute to crisp the bottoms. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
