# How to Prepare:

Combine Golden Mountain sauce, white sugar, sesame oil, and oyster sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

04 -
Transfer the pork mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the crushed aromatic paste, finely diced carrots, green onions, and mushrooms. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
05 -
Place a dumpling wrapper over the concave side of a tablespoon. Press gently to create a well, add a spoonful of filling to the center, lightly moisten the wrapper edges with water, then fold the edges up and around the filling, pinching to seal while formed in the spoon.

Line a steamer with parchment paper. Arrange dumplings in a single layer. Cover and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes until wrappers are translucent and filling is cooked through.

Brush dumplings lightly with garlic oil and garnish with crispy fried garlic before serving hot.
