Instructions
- Crush coriander root, black peppercorns, and garlic in a mortar and pestle until fragrant and well combined.

- Incorporate the crushed spice mixture and finely chopped vegetables into the meat mixture, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Position a wonton wrapper on a spoon, carefully place a small portion of filling in the center, and moisten wrapper edges with water.
- Delicately fold and pleat the wrapper’s edges, creating compact dumplings that securely encase the filling.
- Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper, arranging dumplings without overcrowding.

Notes
- Crush spices thoroughly to release maximum flavor, creating an aromatic base that elevates the entire dumpling’s taste profile.
- Blend meat mixture until completely smooth for a consistent, silky texture that ensures even cooking and delightful mouthfeel.
- Use cold hands when wrapping dumplings to prevent the filling from warming up and becoming difficult to handle.
- Experiment with alternative protein sources like shrimp, chicken, or tofu to accommodate different dietary preferences and restrictions.
