In a big bowl, add ground pork, rice wine, chicken powder, oyster sauce, pepper, and salt.

Stir to combine the ingredients.

Once mixed, add in 1 egg and continue to stir until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, soak ginger and green onion in hot water.

Use this water to combine with the ground pork, pouring it bit by bit while stirring the filling.

Continue until all the water has been used, noting that it may feel too wet.

Cut garlic chives and add them to a bowl.

Add sesame oil to the bowl of chopped chives and mix to coat them fully.

Add the chive mixture to the seasoned meat and mix thoroughly.

Prepare dumpling wrappers by adding filling to the middle of each wrapper and using water to close the seams.

Optionally, add flour to the plate to prevent sticking.

Wrap all dumplings, and if not eating them all, freeze for later use.

In a pot of boiling water, add the dumplings.

Once the water returns to a boil, add 1 cup of cold water and wait for it to boil again.

Once boiled again, the dumplings are done and ready to serve.
