Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Authentic Kanom Jeeb (Thai Dumplings)
  1. Prepare the filling by pounding coriander roots, black peppercorns, and garlic into a paste. Whisk sauces, sugar, and sesame oil. Mix in pork, egg, and cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Incorporate the aromatic paste into the pork mixture, and fold in finely diced carrots, green onions, and mushrooms until well combined.
  3. Lay a dumpling wrapper flat, scoop filling, moisten edges with water, fold, and press to seal. Repeat until filling is used.
  4. Line steamer with parchment and arrange dumplings in a single layer. Steam for about 10 minutes until wrappers turn translucent.
  5. Serve hot with dipping sauces like soy sauce or Thai sweet chili, garnished with fried garlic or herbs.
