Notes
For the best results, ensure the dough is rolled out evenly to avoid uneven cooking. It's important to not overcrowd the steamer basket to allow for proper steam circulation. You can use a damp cloth to cover the dumplings while assembling to prevent them from drying out. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference, and feel free to experiment with different fillings like shrimp or vegetables.
