Method

1. Mix the flour with about 40-50ml of warm water and a pinch of salt until a smooth dough forms; let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. Finely mince the pork tenderloin or pulse it briefly in a mixer until it reaches a ground consistency.
3. Finely shred the cabbage and spring onion, then mix them with the pork, grated ginger, and half of the soy sauce.
4. Roll out the dough very thinly and cut out circles of about 8-10cm in diameter.
5. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold in half, and pleat the edges to seal them tightly.
6. Line a steamer basket with cabbage leaves or parchment paper and steam the dumplings over boiling water for 10-12 minutes.
7. Serve the dumplings hot, sprinkled with sesame seeds and the remaining soy sauce for dipping.

Tips

• Ensure the dough is rolled very thin, especially at the edges, for the best texture after steaming.
• The dumplings are ready when the wrapper looks translucent and the meat feels firm to the touch.
