Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine plain flour and salt, create a well, and gradually pour in boiling water while mixing until shaggy. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Cover to rest for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Mix pork mince, spring onions, chives, coriander, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Stir in soy sauces, sesame oil, vinegar, and egg. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Divide dough into pieces and roll each into a circle. Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold into a half-moon shape, and seal edges tightly.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Place dumpling tacos in pan and smash down. Fry for 2 minutes until golden, add water, cover to steam for 1 minute, then cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve warm topped with fresh veggies and drizzle with chili oil.
