Juicy Steamed Dumplings

Ingredients

 * 4 1/2 (500 g) cups flour, sifted
 * 1 lb (500 g) lean boneless Pork, minced
 * 4 tsp soy sauce
 * 1/2 tsp rice wine
 * 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, chopped
 * 2 tsp salt, or to taste
 * 1/2 tsp Sugar
 * 4 oz (125 ml) sesame oil
 * 1/2 tsp MSG

Directions

 * 1) Mix the Pork with the soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, MSG, salt, and Sugar.
 * 2) Stir in one direction until it becomes a paste.
 * 3) Stir in the sesame oil and mix well.
 * 4) Add 9 oz (250 ml) of cold water gradually to the flour and mix into a dough. Let rest.
 * 5) Turn out onto a flour board and knead until firm and elastic.
 * 6) Knead the dough again and cut into 1/2 oz (15 g) balls.
 * 7) Flatten each ball lightly with your hand, then roll out each piece into a 3 inch (7 to 8 cm) circle, rotating the dough counter-clockwise while rolling so the centre is slightly thicker than the edges.
 * 8) Place about 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp (20 g) of filling on each circle and pinch the edges together into 18 pleats.
 * 9) Place the dumpling in a steamer and steam for 5 minutes over high heat.
