Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
Two cups shredded veggies. Mixture of: mostly cabbage or bok choy, with carrots, mushrooms, onion, whatever to taste. Pre-packaged coleslaw mix works surprisingly well.
soy sauce
water
vinegar (white or rice)
coupla dozen wonton/dumpling skins ( I think these are just flour and water)
garlic (fresh, chopped fine, or powdered)
ginger (fresh, chopped fine, or powdered)
small bowl with water for dipping
optional: Tbsp Hunan chili paste, Tbsp plum sauce
or maybe tsp black bean sauce, tsp five spice powder or other flavoring (use *one*)
Recipe
Make the dipping sauce first and let it sit. Mix equal parts soy sauce and vinegar, about 1/8 cup per person. Mix equal parts garlic and ginger, about a clove's worth per person.
Stir-fry vegetable mix in a small bit of water and soy sauce. If you have it, add your favorite optional flavoring. I like chili paste. Stir until translucent. Mix will taste sorta raw.
To make the dumplings, scoop about 1.5 teaspoons onto a dumpling skin (experiment until you find the right amount.) FIll with your veggoes and crunch the dumpling into a nice shape and dip the end into the small bowl to seal it.
Dumplings may be boiled for 3-5 minutes or steamed 5-10. They are done when they crinkle up and turn translucent.
