2. Spoon 1 tbsp of filling into each wrapper squares (or triangle). Brush water around edges and fold the edges around the filling. Pinch or fork to seal.

3. Dunk each dumpling back into the shallow water and then dunk into a shallow plate of sesame seeds to coat the bottom

4. Heat oil in a medium- large sauce pan. Add the dumplings and cook until golden brown. Then carefully add a thin layer of water to the sauce pan and steam for 10 minutes.

5. Plate the dumplings and top with chinkiang vinegar, scallions and chilli crisps
