1. Gather the ingredients: To make the perfect xiaolongbao, you'll need:
   • 1 pound of ground pork
   • 1/2 cup of chicken stock
   • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
   • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
   • 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions
   • 1/4 cup of minced ginger
   • 1 package of dumpling wrappers
2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chicken stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and minced ginger. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Assemble the dumplings: Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper in half and pleat the edges to seal the dumpling. Repeat this process until all the filling is used.
4. Steam the dumplings: Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, leaving some space between each dumpling. Steam them over high heat for about 10-12 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.
5. Serve: Carefully remove the steamed dumplings from the steamer and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve them hot with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.
