Method
Making the Dumpling Dough
- 1
Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together. Gradually add water while stirring with a fork until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Preparing the Pork Filling
- 2
Mix the filling
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Shape the dumplings
After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces (about 1 inch each). Roll each piece into a circle about 3 inches in diameter. Place a small spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
Cooking the Dumplings
- 4
Steam the dumplings
Prepare a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Place the dumplings in the basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the dough is tender.
Making the Chili Oil
- 5
Prepare the chili oil
In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the dried red chili flakes and sliced garlic. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

Serve the dumplings
