Prepare the filling:

1.
In a mortar and pestle, grind the peppercorns, coriander, garlic and salt and form a paste.
2.
In a pan, heat oil, fry the paste for about a minute.
3.
Then on high heat, add the onions and the chicken, and stir-fry till it's all crumbly.
4.
Add the peanuts, brown sugar. Give it a quick stir so that the sugar caramelizes.
5.
Add the fish sauce and mix well.
6.
Stir for a few minutes more and take off the heat.

Prepare the wrapping:

1.
For the tapioca shell, mix the tapioca pearls and tapioca flour in boiling water, while stirring constantly. Knead the dough a bit but very gently, do not mash the pearls. It will be sticky and allow it to cool.
2.
Dip your fingers in a bowl of cold water. Take a pinch of the tapioca dough, roll into a ball.
3.
Then flatten it and fill it with the chicken filling.
4.
Steam the dumplings.
5.
Optional - you can drizzle a bit of garlic oil on top or black sesame seeds. Also instead of the tapioca covering you can use spinach leaves to wrap the filling.
