    List of Ingredients




    Steamed Chinese Dumpling Wraps

    Two 7 1/2 ounce packages refrigerated home-style biscuit dough (not buttermilk) 1 recipe of any filling given below, well chilled Barbcued Pork Filling 3/4 pound groud pork 1 tablespoon dry sherry 1/4 cup soy sauce, divided 2 tablespoons vagatebale oil 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions, white parts and 4 inches green tops 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/4 cup ketchup 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1 tablespoon white wine vineagar Salt and freshly ground black pepper


    1. Cut parchment paper or waxed paper into twenty 2-inch squares. Separate the dough into individual portions; each circle will be approximately 2 inches in diameter. Place one dough section on a plate, and press the edge of the circle, leaving the center portion its original thickness, until it is 3 1/2-inches in diameter. 2. Place a scant tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Using your finger, gather the edges around the filling and seal the dumplings closed by pinching the dough. Place the dumpling, seam side down, on a square of parchment paper, and shape the dumpling into a round ball. Place the dumpling on a bamboo steamer rack, and repeat with the ramaining dough sections. Each 10-inch steamer rack holds 7 dumplings. If you don't have a bamboo steamer, one can be improvised. Place a cake rack on heat-proof custard cups in the bottom of a stockpot. Since the rack and cups will not be as stable as a bamboo steamer, steam only one level of dumplings at a time. 3. Pour 1/2 inch of water into the bottom of a large stockpot, and when it comes to a boil, place the stacking bamboo steamers into the pot. Cover the pot, and steam for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and gently lift the cover away from you. Remove the steamer racks from the pan with tongs and serve dumplings immediately. NOTE: The fillings can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered. The dumplings can be prepared for steaming up to 2 hours in advance
