Step 1
Since there was no crab paste at home, I used crab roe instead. Thaw the crab roe. Heat lard and chicken oil in a pan, stir-fry the scallions and ginger, add the crab roe, Shaoxing wine, and cook over low heat until the crab roe releases its oil. Add a pinch of salt and a small amount of rice vinegar.

I cooked the dumplings one by one, so I prepared a pot of boiling water in advance. Each dumpling takes about 10 minutes to cook through, as they are quite large.
