5 steps

01
Mix the all-purpose flour and salt in a bowl. Add the lukewarm water and knead until firm and smooth. Cover and let the dough rest.
02
Combine the ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, fresh coriander, black pepper, and salt. Stir in the cold water a little at a time until the filling looks loose and juicy.
03
Roll the dough out and cut it into rounds. Spoon filling into each round, gather the edges into pleats, and pinch tightly to form dumplings with a top knot.
04
Cook the dumplings in gently boiling water until they float, the dough is tender, and the meat filling reaches 71°C (160°F).
05
Serve hot with extra black pepper if desired.
