Instructions
Make the Dough
Combine the flour, warm water, and salt in a large bowl. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Make the Filling
In a fresh mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Form the Dumplings
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to ¼-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles.
Fill a small bowl with a tablespoon of water. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle and use your finger to moisten one end of the dumpling circle. Fold the edges to seal the dumpling, and use a fork to pleat the edges of the dough.
Boil the Dumplings
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Then, add the dumplings and cook them for 6-8 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the top.
Make the Dipping Sauce
While the dumplings are boiling, combine the ingredients for the sauce
