Add water gradually to all-purpose flour to form a medium-soft dough.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling by mixing chopped ginger, 1 teaspoon white pepper, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon cooking oil with ground chicken.

Roll out the rested dough into thin sheets and cut into circles.

Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle.

Pinch the dough together to seal the dumplings.

Heat a non-stick skillet and place the dumplings in it.

Cook the dumplings on low heat for about 2 minutes until the bottom is slightly browned.

Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover tightly to steam the dumplings for about 10 minutes, adding more water if necessary.

Check if the dumplings are cooked through and serve.
