- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, more as needed
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large shallots, minced

- 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup shredded daikon radish
- 2 tablespoons yuzu juice (see note)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- Salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- About 30 3-inch round dumpling wrappers from one 12- to 14-ounce package
- Shred short rib meat into a large mixing bowl, discarding any bones or cartilage.
- Place a small skillet over medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Add ginger, garlic and shallots, and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add to bowl of shredded meat.
- Add scallions, parsley, daikon, yuzu juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Place a dumpling wrapper on a work surface and spoon one packed tablespoon of filling in the center, in an oblong shape.
- Lightly brush edges of wrapper with water, fold in half over meat and press closed, to form a half-moon shape.
- Stand on end to flatten the bottom.
- Repeat until all wrappers are used.
- (Leftover meat can be frozen.)
- Line a large bamboo steamer or other flat-bottomed steamer with a parchment paper round.
- Place over a pot filled with enough water to reach just below the bottom of the basket.
- Place dumplings inside basket spacing about 1 inch apart; the dumplings will need to be steamed in batches.
- Bring water to a boil.
- Cover and steam until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Replenish water as necessary.
- Once all dumplings are steamed, set aside.
- Place a large nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium heat, and add 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
- Add dumplings, standing them on their flattened bottoms.
- Allow them to sear until crisp on the bottom (do not turn or sear sides), 1 to 2 minutes.
