Rinse the shrimp, pat dry, and finely chop. Wash and trim the spring onion, slicing into thin rings. Combine shrimp, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and sugar; mix well. Place a tablespoon of filling onto each dough circle’s center. Fold each circle over, tucking the seam side in folds to create a zig‑zag edge. Steam the dumplings in a bamboo basket for about 8 minutes.
