Instructions

1. Put the flour, yeast and sugar in a mixer bowl. Add the warm water and knead on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until a dough forms (or do it by hand in a bowl). Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix all the filling ingredients in a bowl until sticky.
3. When the dough has doubled or tripled, roll it into a rope about 2.5 cm (1 in) thick, dusting with flour as needed. Cut into 2 oz pieces (1 oz for small dumplings) and roll each into a ball, then flatten between your palms.
4. Roll each piece into a 3-inch circle, keeping the edge thinner than the centre. Keep the rest covered with a towel while you work.
5. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of filling in the centre. Pinch the edges closed with your index finger and thumb while pushing the filling in with your left thumb.
6. Place the sealed dumplings in an 8-inch cast iron pan coated with 3 tablespoons of cooking oil, with 6-7 fitting in the pan. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. This makes about 20 regular or 40 small dumplings.
7. Rest the dumplings uncovered for 15-20 minutes so they don't stick together.
8. Pour in 1 cup of cold water, or enough to cover 3/4 of the dumplings. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. If it boils over, uncover briefly and tilt the lid about 1 inch.
9. Cook over medium-high heat until the dumplings are cooked through and crisp on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Garnish with black sesame seeds.
