Dumplings 101

I was gifted a bamboo steamer as a house warming gift and it's about time I put it to good use!

It was a customize your own dumpling party. We had chopped beef, shrimp, green onions, minced white onion, bell pepper and pineapple as filling choices.



We used round dumpling wrappers. You put a small amount of filling in the center, wet the edge of the dumpling wrapper, fold over and seal along the edge.

Here's our prepared dumplings ready to be steamed. We lined the steamer with cabbage leaves so the dumplings wouldn't stick to the steamer.
 

The steamer was placed over a wok with some water in it. We steamed the dumplings for about 20 minutes. 

Behold the finished product!
They turned out pretty good. We did find out the hard way that any of the dumplings that were touching got stuck together and were hard to seperste without riping open the dumpling.

Oh and did I mention Steve made delicious yakitori meats?
Beef...
And chicken!
