    1. Rinse the mushrooms and chop them as finely as possible. Wash the green onion and mince it too.
    1. Put the prepared mushrooms in a bowl, then add the ground pork, chopped onion, ginger, pepper, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly so the seasonings are evenly distributed.
    1. Pour some water into a small bowl. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each into a round. Moisten the inner surface of the round with water from the bowl. Spoon a teaspoon of filling into the center and pinch the edges closed in neat pleats.
    1. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat (if you don't have sesame oil, use any other). Add a batch of dumplings — not too many, about 8–10, so they aren't crowded.
    1. Fry the dumplings a couple of minutes until golden on the bottom. Then pour in the water (make sure it's warm).
    1. Cover with a lid and cook until the water fully evaporates (4 to 5 minutes, no more). Fry the rest of the dumplings the same way, in two or three batches. Any leftover uncooked dumplings (with a small group you'll likely have some) can be frozen and cooked another time.
  • And that's how these Chinese dumplings turn out — give them a try, they're delicious!
