steamed dumplings with minced meat filling

Combine the minced meat, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, MSG, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Mix well. Add a little water and mix. Finally, mix thoroughly with the sesame oil. Mix the flour with 250 ml water and knead into a soft dough. The dough should be very elastic. Shape the dough into a sausage shape about 6 cm in diameter and cut into 0.5 cm thick slices. Roll out each slice thinly and place about 20 g of the filling in the center of each slice. Gather the dough around the filling in about 20 loose folds and twist tightly with one hand to seal and press lightly. (One hand holds the dough, and with the other hand, press another small fold towards the dough in the other hand.) Steam the parcels in a bamboo steamer basket over high heat for 5 minutes and serve. This also works in a rice cooker with the steamer insert. Whole spring onion stalks and coriander stalks are served with it, which are also eaten from the hand.
