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.

Step 2
Mix the cooked crab roe with ground meat, drain as much oil as possible, as the crab roe is already oily and fragrant.
3
Step 3
Add scallions, ginger, truffle, white pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and broth to the crab roe mixture, and stir until well combined.

Step 4
Mix glutinous rice flour with a small amount of tapioca flour, add warm water to form a dough. The tapioca flour can make the wrapper slightly transparent, but it can be omitted if desired.

Step 5
Knead the dough until it is smooth.

Step 6
Apply oil to your hands to make it easier to handle the dough. Flatten the dough, add the filling, and shape into a ball by gently tossing it between your palms.

Step 7
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.
