Prepare the filling by mixing pork and chopped chives in a bowl.

2

Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and add a spoonful of filling in the center.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pinch to seal tightly, ensuring no air is trapped inside.

4

Repeat the process until all filling is used, placing the dumplings on a floured surface to prevent sticking.

For steaming, arrange dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching.

Steam the dumplings over boiling water until cooked through.
