Continue to cook for 3 minutes, then stir through the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce. Remove the mince from the heat and set aside in a bowl to cool completely.
2. Once your mixture is cool enough to handle, make your dumplings. Put 1/2 tsp mince mixture into the centre of a dumpling skin. Use a finger to dampen the edge with some water and then pleat the dumpling pastry to seal (simple method: fold over the skin and make sure the edge is sealed).
