INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp neutral oil. Add the diced bacon or pork meat and fry until browned, then add the chopped vegetables and mushrooms. Fry for a few more minutes until the vegetables are cooked.
2. Add the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds to the filling. Stir and let cool.
3. Place 1 tbsp of filling in each wrapper to assemble the dumplings. Wet the edges of the wrapper, then fold over and pinch the edges together to seal.

5. Drizzle some chilli oil over the dumplings before serving, and garnish with diced spring onions.
