Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.

For pan-frying

2 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil), divided
⅓ cup water, divided

For the dipping sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp chili oil or chili crisp (optional)

Instructions

1
Make the dough: Whisk together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the boiling water and stir with a fork or chopsticks until shaggy, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3–4 minutes until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Shape into a ball, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2
Make the filling: Combine the ground pork, chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, ginger, cornstarch, white pepper, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir vigorously in one direction for about 1 minute until the mixture is cohesive and slightly sticky.
