Step 1
Mix ground pork with soy sauce, scallions, and ginger until combined.
Step 2
Place 1 tsp filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet edges with water, fold into a triangle, then pinch the sides to seal.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Arrange buns flat-side down in the skillet without overlapping. Don't move them for 3 minutes until bottoms turn golden and crispy.
Step 5
Pour the water around (not on) the buns. Cover and steam for 4 minutes until wrappers soften and water evaporates.
Step 6
Serve hot with chili oil or soy sauce for dipping.
