Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually pour in the boiling water while stirring with a fork or chopsticks until the mixture begins to come together.

  2. 2

    Knead the dough

    Once the dough is cool enough to handle, knead it on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the filling

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 4

    Add broth

    Slowly incorporate the chicken broth into the pork mixture, stirring continuously until the filling is well combined and slightly soupy.

Dumpling Assembly

  1. 5

    Roll out the dough

    After resting, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it with your palm. Use a rolling pin to roll out each piece into a thin circle, about 4 inches in diameter.

  2. 6

    Fill the dumplings

    Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Carefully gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal the dumpling. Make sure to leave a small opening at the top for steam to escape.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Steam the dumplings

    Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Place the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching. Steam over boiling water for about 12-15 minutes until the dough is translucent and the filling is cooked through.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve hot with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.
