David asked what "三鲜" in Sanxian dumplings refers to. Frankly, I wasn't 100% sure myself, so I checked online and found that it includes chives, shrimp, and eggs. If it's meat-based, then it would also have pork filling. Now being a dumpling expert, I gathered all the ingredients and started making them, capturing the entire process, so David can refer to it whenever he craves these dumplings or celebrates the Chinese New Year.

Ingredients:
Water, 300 grams
All-purpose flour, 546 grams
Ground pork, 150 grams
Peeled shrimp, 150 grams
Chives, 300 grams
Eggs, 2 medium
Condiments: 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp laoganma, 3-4 grams of salt
Vegetable oil, 1 tbsp

Steps:
Step 1: For the dough, mix water with flour at a ratio of 55%. Let it sit for about 2 hours, and mix once in the middle.

Step 2: Stir-fry eggs and stir vigorously to create fine pieces.

Step 3: Add all condiments to ground pork, mixing in one direction using chopsticks until consistent. Chop shrimp into small pieces, add to the pork mixture, and mix well.

Step 4: Chop chives into small pieces and mix them into the filling from step 3.

Now, the fun part begins - making dumplings.

Step 5: Use half of the dough, massage it into a circle, then break and roll it into a long piece. Make small dough pieces (jizi) either by hand or with a knife. Each jizi should be about 10 grams. Roll them into thin wrappers.

Step 6: Add about 10 grams of filling and fold into dumplings.

Step 7: Repeat the above procedures with the second half of the dough. The dough will make approximately 80 dumplings with a little excess of dough.

Step 8: Boil 12 cups of water in a large pot, add half of the dumplings, stir gently until boiling again. Reduce heat until barely simmering. Cover with a lid and continue for 5 minutes. Stir gently a few times. Remove dumplings onto plates and agitate occasionally to prevent sticking. Boil the second half of the dumplings in the same pot or freeze them.

Step 9: Delicious 肉三鲜饺子 (SanXian Dumplings) are now ready for enjoyment. The dumplings are tasty on their own, with no need to dip in sauce.

Step 10: If desired, you can dip in the sauce by mixing soy sauce, Zhenjiang vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic with or without laoganma.
