Preparation

• 1.

  In a bowl, combine flour and water to form a smooth dough. Knead for about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

• 2.

  In another bowl, mix ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, Szechuan peppercorns, sesame oil, chili oil, salt, and pepper. Combine well.

• 3.

  Divide the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter).

• 4.

  Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold over and pinch to seal, creating a half-moon shape. Make sure to remove any air inside.

• 5.

  Steam the dumplings in a steamer lined with parchment paper for approximately 10-12 minutes or until cooked through.

• 6.

  While the dumplings are steaming, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.

• 7.

  Serve the dumplings hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
