Instructions

1. Make the Dough

   In a mixing bowl combine 350 g all‑purpose flour with a pinch of salt, then gradually whisk in 190 ml water. Knead the mixture for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   Time: PT5M

2. Rest the Dough

   Shape the dough into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

   Time: PT30M

3. Prepare the Filling

   In a separate bowl combine ground pork, sliced onion, cubed blanched Chinese cabbage, minced ginger, 5 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp five‑spice powder, a pinch of pepper, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil. Mix until the mixture becomes slightly sticky.

   Time: PT15M

4. Shape the Dumplings

   Divide the rested dough into small portions, roll each into a 1 cm‑thick rope, then cut 1.5 cm pieces. Lightly flour each piece, flatten with the rolling pin into 9 cm circles, place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the centre, fold into a half‑moon, pinch the edges to seal, then press the two tips together to form a classic jiaozi shape.

   Time: PT20M

5. Freeze Dumplings (Optional)

   Arrange the formed dumplings on a freezer tray, ensuring they do not touch. Freeze for at least 3 hours, then transfer to freezer‑safe bags for later use.

   Time: PT3H

6. Prepare Spicy Sesame Oil

   Heat 8 tbsp rapeseed oil in a small saucepan until it reaches 190‑200 °C (just beginning to smoke). Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp chili flakes, 1 tsp minced ginger, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp black rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and a pinch of pepper.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 190°C

7. Cook the Dumplings in Broth

   Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently add the dumplings, stirring to keep them from sticking. When the water returns to a boil, add ½ cup cold water. Repeat the cold‑water addition two more times (total three additions). After the third addition, turn off the heat.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 100°C

8. Assemble the Soup Bowls

   Divide the cooked dumplings among serving bowls. Ladle hot cooking broth over them, drizzle each bowl with a spoonful of the prepared spicy sesame oil, and garnish with chopped coriander, sliced scallions, and extra sesame seeds if desired.

   Time: PT5M
