Note

The original recipe mentioned using canned pork but squeezed dry; fresh ground pork is recommended for better texture.

If using dried mushrooms, soak them in warm water until soft before chopping.

Ensure the dumplings are sealed well to prevent leaking during steaming.

Serve with soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil for a classic dipping experience.
