Instructions

Combine ground pork, chopped scallions, chopped cilantro, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Fill each dumpling wrapper with a small spoonful of filling.
Wet your finger and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
To seal, fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together.
Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Add hot water and whisk until the sauce is smooth and pourable.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cover the bottom of the skillet with water.
Place the dumplings in the skillet, making sure they don't touch.
Steam the dumplings for 5 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Cook, covered, until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are golden brown on the bottom.
Serve the dumplings immediately with the peanut sauce and black sesame seeds.
