2 Tbsp. chopped onion

1tsp rice wine vinegar (White Vinegar can be used)
½ tsp of chopped fresh Dill
1tsp roasted sesame
Salt to taste
Method :
First we need to make nice clean dough of flour by adding water and pinch of salt. Dough should not be very soft or very hard. Keep aside and rest it for 30 minutes.
Now ready to make the filling for the dumpling, in a frying pan on medium heat , add oil and within a minute add chopped onions , garlic, ginger and chilies. Sauté on medium heat or two more minute . Now add minced corn kernel stir for a minute then add minced spinach , stir the mixture for a minutes now add soy sauce, vinegar and chili sauce. Mix well and stir/ toss for few minute and just before taking it off heat, add finely chopped dill and roasted sesame. Keep aside to cool down.
Come back to dough, work on it for few minutes with your palm but do not go very hard on it. Divide the dough in to workable portion (tennis ball size), dust your workstation with flour and with use of rolling pin flatten the dough ball into a nice clean sheet, this needs lots of patience and maneuvering of dough sheet . The sheet should not be very thin not it should be thick, so balanced thickness of sheet works well. With use of cookie cutter cut the dough sheet in circles ( 3 inch diameter ) In the mean time prepare your steamer.
Preparing dumplings for steaming – take ½ Tbsp. of the filling , place it on the centre of dough circle , now by using your thumb and the forefinger slowly pull the side of the dough circle and press the both sides, repeat on the other sides. Your Dumping should look like square boat. Feel free to use your imagination , make as many sides you like, but make sure not to close the dumpling. Place the filled dumping in the steamer , in 10 minutes these should be done. To make sure its steamed properly, check if all the sides of the dumpling has become translucent. Garnish with roasted sesame seeds .
Serve hot with soy chili sauce and chili oil.
