Method
Dumpling Dough
- 1
Prepare the Dumpling Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add boiling water to the flour while stirring with chopsticks or a fork until the mixture forms a rough dough.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 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

Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the leeks until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Combine Ingredients
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed leeks, shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
Assembling and Cooking

Roll Out the Dough
After the dough has rested, divide it into small portions and roll each portion into a thin circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter.

Fill the Dumplings
Place a spoonful of the 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.

Cook the Dumplings
In a large skillet, add a little vegetable oil and heat over medium-high. Place the dumplings in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until the bottoms are golden. Add water (enough to cover the bottom of the skillet) and cover with a lid. Steam for about 5-7 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.
