Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the spice mixture by pounding coriander roots, black peppercorns, and garlic until finely crushed (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the golden mountain sauce, white sugar, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Whisk until the sugar dissolves (around 2 minutes).
  3. Blend the ground pork, sauce mixture, egg, and cornstarch in a food processor until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended filling with the crushed spice mixture and finely diced vegetables. Stir for 2-3 minutes until evenly distributed.
  5. Shape dumplings by placing filling on a wrapper, moistening edges, folding, and sealing tightly (about 1 minute per dumpling).
  6. Steam the dumplings over medium heat for about 10 minutes until wrappers are translucent and tender.
