1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, finely chopped green onion, gluten-free tamari sauce, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined, then set aside.
2. Lay a gluten-free dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with water to help seal. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal tightly. Crimp the edges if desired for a decorative finish.
4. Place a sheet of parchment paper or lightly oil the bottom of a steamer basket to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
5. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other to avoid sticking during cooking.
6. Bring about 1/4 cup of water to a boil in the bottom pot of your steamer setup. Place the steamer basket on top, cover, and steam the dumplings over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until the pork filling is fully cooked.
7. Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer using tongs and serve hot with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
