Start with pre-made dumpling wrappers from the grocery store.

Remove the meat from the short rib bone and shred it.

Add the shredded short rib to a mixing bowl.

In the bowl, add grated cheddar cheese and caramelized onion.

Chop pickles and add them to the mixture.

Mix in mustard and tomato sauce, aiming for equal parts of each.

Add corn flour to bind the mixture together.

Spoon a small amount of the filling into the center of a dumpling wrapper.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it over to seal.

Ensure the dumplings are not touching when placed in the steamer to cook evenly.

Steam the dumplings for about 5 minutes until they are see-through and hot.

While steaming, prepare a dipping sauce with soy sauce, black vinegar, and sesame oil.

Once the dumplings are ready, plate them and serve with the dipping sauce.
