In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and warm water. Stir until a rough dough forms, then knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and rest for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix ground pork, chopped shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, garlic, green onions, salt, white pepper, shredded cabbage and cornstarch. Stir until fully combined.
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball and use a rolling pin to roll out thin, circular wrappers, about 3 inches in diameter.
Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal or pleat for a traditional look.
Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper. Arrange the dumplings inside, ensuring they don’t touch. Steam over boiling water for 12-15 minutes until the filling is fully cooked.
Remove the dim sum from the steamer and serve immediately with a side of soy sauce, vinegar and chili oil for dipping.
