Preparation Method Steps:
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Fold the dumplings: Place a dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling, forming a crescent shape. Bring the two ends together and pinch to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Steam the dumplings: Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place the dumplings in the basket and steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the filling, as they are more tender and flavorful.
- Be careful not to overfill the dumplings, as this can make them difficult to fold and seal.
- Steam the dumplings just until they are cooked through, as overcooking can make them tough.
