Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 500g ground pork, 1 cup chopped bamboo shoots, 1 tbsp minced ginger, 2 tbsp green onions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until the pork is evenly coated.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, dissolve 4 soaked gelatin sheets in 1 cup chicken broth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Place 1 tbsp of the pork mixture in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Pour 1 tbsp of the gelatin-chicken broth mixture into each wrapper, leaving a 1cm border around the edges.
Step 4: Fold the dumpling wrappers diagonally, pressing the edges together to seal. Ensure the filling is enclosed and the gelatin is fully contained within the dumpling.
Step 5: Place the dumplings on a steamer tray lined with parchment paper. Steam over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the gelatin has melted into a soup.
Step 6: Serve immediately with a small dish of soy sauce for dipping.
