Instructions

1. Make the white dough: dissolve 1/3 tsp salt in 150 g room-temperature water, mix into 300 g flour to form a rough dough, cover with a damp towel and rest 15 minutes.
2. Make the green dough: blanch 150 g spinach for about 10 seconds, rinse in cold water (it should weigh about 160-170 g), season with 1/3 tsp salt, blend to a puree, and knead with 300 g flour. Cover with a slightly damp towel and rest 15 minutes.
3. Knead the white dough until smooth, roll into a log. Do the same with the green dough. Cover both and rest 40 minutes.
4. Finely dice the sour cabbage and 1/2 cup scallion.
5. Blend 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 inch ginger, 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns and 5 tbsp water into a puree, then sieve it to remove stubborn bits.
6. In a large bowl, mix 500 g ground pork with 1.5 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine, 1 tsp five-spice powder and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Pour in the aromatic water and stir in one direction for 5 minutes. Then mix in the sour cabbage and scallion.
7. Taste the filling by cooking a teaspoon in the microwave and adjust if needed, since sour cabbage salt levels vary.
8. Roll the white dough into a 20-inch log. Roll the green dough into a 20 x 4 inch sheet, thinner along its length. Lightly dampen the sheet, wrap it around the white log, then roll thinner and longer.
9. Divide into 50 even pieces, dust lightly with flour and cover with a damp towel. Roll each into a round wrapper about 3 inches across.
10. Place filling in each wrapper, fold in half, and pinch the edge closed.
11. Bring water to a boil, swirl it to form a cyclone, and add the dumplings. Keep the heat at medium and swirl gently.
12. When it returns to a simmer, add 1/2 cup cold water. When it simmers again, add another 1/2 cup cold water. Turn off the heat when it simmers again and all dumplings float; remove and serve with dipping sauce.
