To assemble the dumplings, place a dumpling wrapper on your palm. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing out any air. Crimp the edges to seal, creating pleats for a decorative finish. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Prepare the green beans: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the trimmed green beans and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to blister slightly.

Add soy sauce and water to the skillet. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp. Uncover and continue to cook for another minute to allow any excess liquid to evaporate. Set aside.

Cook the dumplings: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the dumplings, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Once the dumplings float to the surface, add 1/2 cup of cold water. Cover and bring back to a boil. Repeat this process two more times (adding cold water and boiling). The dumplings are cooked when they are plump and the wrappers are translucent.
