Place a dumpling wrapper on a lightly floured work surface and spoon about one tablespoon of the filling in the middle. Wet the edge with a little water and crimp together forming small pleats to seal the dumpling. Repeat with remaining dumpling wrappers and filling.

Pour in one cup of water, cover and cook till the dumplings are tender and the pork is cooked through, about five minutes. Repeat for remaining dumplings. Serve with soy sauce mixture for dipping.
