Directions:
Start by making the dumpling filings. In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, finely sliced ginger and cornstarch together. Mix well until combined.

Place one heaped teaspoon of the filling in the middle of each wrapper. use your finger to spread a little water on the rim of the wrapper then gently fold the wrapper over to make a half-moon shape.

Use your thumb and index finger to make small pleats along the sealed edge. Press the pleats in between your thumb and index finger to ensure the dumpling is sealed tightly.

Place the dumpling on a plate dusted with cornstarch. Repeat process.

Heat 1 tbsp. of oil in a fry pan over a medium heat. Add a single layer of dumplings filling-side down and fry for about 2 minutes.

Gently move the dumplings around with a wooden spoon to make sure they don't stick. Add 1/2 cup of chicken stock, cover and steam for 2 minutes. Uncover and cook until stock has evaporated. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.

To make the dipping sauce simply combine the soy sauce and Chinese red vinegar with ginger slivers.

Serve dumplings with dipping sauce.
