Step 1
First, mix together the chicken mince, spring onion, ginger, garlic, carrot, cornflour, pink salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and coriander leaves in a bowl until everything is well combined. Set this filling aside.

Step 2
For the dough, dissolve the pink salt in water, then gradually add this to the all-purpose flour. Knead until you get a firm dough. Cover it with cling film and let it rest for 30 minutes.

After resting, knead the dough again briefly with wet hands for a couple of minutes, cover, and let it rest for another 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls (about 20g each) and roll each one out into a 4-inch circle. Dust with cornflour to keep them from sticking.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, wet the edges with water, then fold and pinch the edges together to seal, forming your dumplings. You should get about 22-24 dumplings.
