Wash and steam the taro until soft enough to peel and mash for later.

Place the mushrooms in a bowl of water. I am soaking shiitake mushrooms in the refrigerator overnight.

Place the minced pork in a bowl. Refrigerate minced pork for 1 hour; this step is optional.

Take out the refrigerated mushrooms and minced pork.

Mix minced pork, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, chicken bouillon powder, and white pepper.

Stir in green onion and ginger water until well absorbed.

Drain the water from the mushrooms and squeeze out as much water as you can.

Chop the mushrooms into bits and chop the green onions.

Mix the chopped mushrooms and green onions in the filling.

Once the taro is soft, peel and mash the hot taro. Don't forget to wear kitchen gloves. You can use a potato masher or blender to mash the taro.

Mix mashed taro with sweet potato flour (2:1 ratio) to form a non-sticky dough.

Knead the dough until smooth.

Then, take a portion of the dough and cook it in boiling water for a few minutes. This step enhances the chewiness of the dough.

Incorporate the cooked dough portion back into the rest of the dough.

Knead again until you have a stretchy dough that does not break easily.

Take a portion of the kneaded dough and make a circular wrapper shaped like a small bowl. Don't make it too thin. It should be thick enough to carry the filling without tearing.

Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center. Do not overfill the wrapper or this will cause it to break open when boiled.

Seal the edges of the wrapper by pinching them together. Make sure there are no openings left.

Prepare a pot with water and bring to a boil.

Cook the dumplings until they float.

Once they float, add a bowl of cool water to the pot.

Stir once more and continue boiling for an additional 3 minutes.

In a serving bowl, mix light soy sauce, salt, lard, green onion, chicken bouillon powder, and chili oil.

Pour a few scoops of the boiled water used for boiling the dumplings into the bowl.

Gently place the cooked dumplings.
