Assemble the dumplings: Lay out the round dumpling wrappers. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, then crimp the edges to seal securely, creating pleats if desired.

Prepare steaming bowls: Divide the chicken broth evenly among 4 heat-proof individual serving bowls. Add 3/4 teaspoon of soy sauce and a tiny dash of sesame oil (about 1/8 teaspoon) to each bowl of broth. Gently stir to combine.

Arrange dumplings: Carefully place 4-5 assembled dumplings into each bowl with the broth. Ensure they are not too crowded.

Steam the soup: Place the bowls into a steamer basket or onto a steaming rack set in a large pot or wok with about 1-2 inches of simmering water (ensure water does not touch the bottom of the bowls). Cover tightly and steam for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
