Start with all-purpose flour in a bowl.

Add salt to the flour and mix it around with a spatula or fork.

Slowly pour in water at room temperature and mix until it starts to form a dough.

Knead the dough by pushing it in and folding it over, turning the bowl a quarter turn each time to incorporate all the flour.

Knead until the dough is tough and bouncy, about 5-7 minutes.

Form the dough into a ball and cover it with a damp rag to let it rest for about 20 minutes.

Prepare the filling by mixing ground pork, 1/4 cup of chopped cabbage, ginger, 2 tablespoons of sugar, chopped scallions, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce in a bowl.

Stir the filling until well combined using a rubber spatula.

Season the filling with black pepper and mix again.

Roll out the rested dough into 24 balls, then roll each ball into a 4-inch circle, making sure the dough is thin enough to see through.

Fill each circle with the prepared filling and fold to seal, pinching the edges tightly.

Steam or boil the filled dumplings to cook them through, ensuring the outside has a good texture.

Prepare a dipping sauce with red pepper flakes, scallions, sesame oil, vinegar, and soy sauce, allowing it to sit for 20-30 minutes to develop flavor.
