Step 1

Prepare the DoughIn a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and boiling water. Mix with a spoon until it forms a shaggy dough.Add the vegetable oil and knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Make the FillingIn a separate bowl, combine all the filling ingredients (ground meat, shrimp, cabbage, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and sugar).Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Shape the DumplingsDivide the dough into small portions (about the size of a ping-pong ball). Roll each portion into a thin circle using a rolling pin.Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper.Fold the dough in half and pleat the edges to seal, ensuring no gaps for steam to escape.

Step 4

Steam the DumplingsLine the bamboo steamer with parchment paper or cabbage leaves.Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.Place the steamer over boiling water and steam for 10-12 minutes until the filling is cooked through.

Step 5

ServeServe the dumplings hot with soy sauce, chili oil, or vinegar for dipping.
