Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

Place a dumpling wrapper in your hand and add a spoonful of the lamb mixture to the center.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half, pinching to seal.

Repeat the process until all the filling is used.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and steam the dumplings for about 15 minutes until cooked through.

Alternatively, pan-fry the dumplings in a skillet with oil until golden brown on one side, then add water and cover to steam until cooked.

Serve the dumplings hot with a dipping sauce made of vinegar and additional chili oil.

Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
