Mix 250 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 250 milliliters of water in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for 10 minutes and let it rest for 1 hour.

Toast 1 bulb of garlic, 2 green onion stems, 1 tablespoon of cloves, 3 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, and a crapload of szechuan peppercorns in a pan for about 5 minutes until aromatic.

Add 1 liter of canola oil to the pan and then add in the garlic and green onions; cook on low heat for about 45 minutes.

In a jar, add 100 grams of citron chili flakes and 1 tablespoon of salt.

Pour the hot oil into the jar using a strainer, being careful not to spill.

Let the chili oil sit for about an hour to develop flavor.

In a bowl, mix ground pork with chopped onion, garlic, green onions, and ginger.

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of Shaoxing wine, 2 tablespoons of salt, and 2 tablespoons of white pepper to the pork mixture; mix well with bare hands.

Roll the dough into a log and cut it into 5 pieces.

Use a pasta machine to roll out the dough to the 4th dial, making it as thin as possible.

Cut the rolled dough into circles using a ravioli cutter.

Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture onto each wrapper, wet the edges with water, and press to seal.

Boil the dumplings in hot water until they float, indicating they are done and the meat is cooked through.

Cut up some green onions for garnish.

Mix the dumplings with chili oil in a bowl and start plating.
