Chiu Chow Fun Gwor, Pork Steamed Dumplings

This the second of the dumplings that I made at the course we did back in July. When I went to my parents house a couple of weekends ago, we made a whole batch of the pork dumplings for the freezer as they can be cooked from frozen for 10 mins. This is probably one of the most useful courses I have done as we have made dumplings twice since the course and they have worked perfectly both times!
