Steps:

- Add the beaten egg and mix to combine.
- Add the pork and mix to combine.
- Fill a small bowl with water and lightly flour a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of a wrapper. Dip your finger in the water and use it to moisten the edge of the wrapper.
- Pinch one end tightly to seal and then make several pleats to close up the filling entirely. Flatten out the bottom. If not pleating, simply fold one half of the wrapper over the filling and press together to seal.
- Set the dumpling on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a damp towel while you continue filling the rest.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of water to the pan, then place 6-7 dumplings in the water. Cover with a clear lid and let steam for 10 minutes, without lifting the lid.

Steps:
- Toss cubes of pork and salt in a medium bowl. Spread the pork pieces on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between the pieces than place in the freezer for 15 minutes until just starting to freeze, but still pliable.
- In bowl of food processor, combine salted pork, bacon, egg, stock, soy sauce, and sugar. Process until a rough puree is formed and pieces of pork are no larger than 1/8th of an inch, about 20 seconds. Add leeks to food processor and pulse until evenly incorporated, about 6 one-second pulses.
- Working with a few skins at a time, place approximately 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Use your finger to spread a small amount of water around the edge of each wrapper. Seal wrappers by folding in half and pleating one side 5 or 6 times, pinching the edges together as you go. Place finished dumplings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, separating them to avoid sticking, and covering the whole thing with a clean, damp washcloth.
- Line a bamboo steamer with wilted cabbage or lettuce leaves, or create a parchment liner . Place dumplings in steamer, leaving a small gap between each one a place over a wok of simmering water. Steam for 7 to 9 minutes until skins are translucent and filling is cooked through. Serve immediately with soy sauce, chili paste, Chinkiang vinegar, black vinegar, or plain rice vinegar.

I love dumplings/pot stickers and these are seriously good. From Canadian LCBO's Food and Drink Magazine. I am sure that these would work with chicken or turkey instead of pork. You can freeze these dumplings for an easy plan-ahead appetizer / snack / dinner. Serve with Recipe #397489.

STEAMED PORK WONTON DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- In a large bowl mix pork, water chestnuts, scallions, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, egg, sesame dressing mix, and oyster sauce. Fill center of each wonton wrapper with 1 teaspoon of meat filling. Gather wrapper up and twist to secure sides. Brush the edges of the wontons with water to help seal. Arrange cabbage leaves on the bottom of a bamboo steamer. Place dumplings about 1-inch apart and steam until the filling is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Make sure your dumpling wrappers are pliable. If they're too dry, they'll crack when you try to fold them. To soften them, you can microwave them for a few seconds or dip them in water.
- Don't overfill your dumplings. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and they'll be more likely to burst open while cooking.
- Pleat your dumplings carefully. This will help to keep them sealed and prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Steam your dumplings for the correct amount of time. If you steam them for too long, they'll become tough. For pork and scallion dumplings, 8-10 minutes is usually sufficient.
- Serve your dumplings with your favorite dipping sauce. Soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Steamed pork and scallion dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect dumplings every time. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
