Steamed Dumplings in Chili Oil

In the continuation of stripping the lining of my insides, I made these simple pork and shrimp dumplings drowned in chili oil. These dumplings are so addictive, I recommend making a double batch and freezing them down, storing in a freezer bag so you can make these anytime. They only take 10 minutes to steam. These dumplings can also be boiled, only taking 5-6 minutes.
