Steamed Dumplings

This recipe came from the Lokens - the kids have always loved it. Ingredients: 3/4 lb ground pork 1/2 tbsp corn starch 1/2 tbsp dry sherry 1 tbsp tamari (light soy) 1 clove garlic, minced 2+ green onions, chopped 1 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp sesame oil 1 pkg wonton wrappers Directions: Mix all ingredients except wrappers Place fat tbsp mixture in middle of wonton wrapper Pinch corners of wrapper together to form dumpling (or use dumpling press) Steam in steamer for 15 - 20 minutes Serves 4 - 6 Notes:

• I use a bamboo steamer - it helps to spray oil on steamer rack(s) to prevent sticking
• It helps to have a small dish of cornstarch and water, with which you paint the edges of the wonton wrapper prior to assembly
• You can use a ravioli press to make the dumplings
• I serve with several dipping sauces: - a mixture of hoisin sauce, sesame oil, a little vinegar; - soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil - duck sauce
• We often serve this with sweet + sour red cabbage and sesame noodles
