1. Prepare the Dumpling Filling:
   • Finely chop 1 pound of pork shoulder and place it in a mixing bowl.
   • Chop 1 cup of celery into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
   • Season the filling with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
   • Mix everything together until well combined.
2. Wrap the Dumplings:
   • Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the pork and celery filling in the center.
   • Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water.
   • Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal the dumpling.
   • Repeat this process until all the filling is used.
3. Cook the Dumplings:
   • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
   • Add the dumplings to the boiling water and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
   • Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate.
4. Serve the Dumplings:
   • Arrange the cooked dumplings on a serving platter.
   • Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
   • Serve with a dipping sauce made from a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of honey.

For additional flavor variations, you can also steam or pan-fry the dumplings instead of boiling them. Steaming will result in a softer texture, while pan-frying will create a crispy exterior.
