Step 1: Make the Dumpling Dough

• • In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour and salt. Gradually pour in the boiling water while mixing with a spoon or chopsticks.

• • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

• • In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, spring onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Step 3: Roll Out the Wrappers

• • Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a walnut). Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 8-10 cm in diameter, on a floured surface.

Step 4: Assemble the Dim Sum

• • Place a teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of each wrapper.

• • Fold the wrapper over the filling and pleat the edges to seal, forming a crescent shape or your preferred style.

Step 5: Steam the Dim Sum

• • Line a bamboo steamer or a steaming basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dim sum in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch.

• • Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and cooked through.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

• • Transfer the dim sum to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds, fresh coriander leaves, and a drizzle of chili oil if desired. Serve hot with additional barbecue sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
