STEAMED PORK DUMPLINGS
I love dumplings/pot stickers and these are seriously good. From Canadian LCBO's Food and Drink Magazine. I am sure that these would work with chicken or turkey instead of pork. You can freeze these dumplings for an easy plan-ahead appetizer / snack / dinner. Serve with Recipe #397489.

Steps:
- Mix together pork, green onions, cilantro, ginger, mushrooms, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch and egg white in a large bowl until well combined.
- Working with 6 wrappers at a time, use fingertip to wet edges of each wrapper with water.
- Top each wrapper with 2 teaspoons pork mixture.
- Bring the 4 corners up towards the top of the filling, pleat the sides of the wrapper to form a cup, and press the wrapper snugly around the filling. The dumpling does not need to be fully enclosed at the top.
- Keep the dumplings covered with dampened tea towel while working.
- Place a bamboo steamer in a large pot and add enough water to come just below the base of the bottom steamer.
- Line each basket with a single layer of cabbage leaves to prevent the dumplings from sticking; important, do not omit or you will be eating of the steamer :).
- Place a single layer of dumplings on top of leaves.
- Cover and simmer for 8 minutes or until pork is cooked through; do not overcook.
- Serve warm with Recipe #397489 or other dip.

Steps:
- Lightly beat the egg white in a large bowl. Add the shrimp, jicama, scallions, cornstarch, rice wine, sesame oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the sugar and pepper. Stir well until the mixture starts to thicken, about 1 minute; cover and refrigerate until very cold, about 1 hour.
- Set 1 dumpling wrapper on a clean surface (keep the rest covered with a damp paper towel so they don't dry out). Stir the shrimp mixture, then scoop 1 heaping teaspoonful onto the center of the wrapper. Dab a finger in a cup of cold water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold in half and press the edges together to seal; transfer to a baking sheet. Cover with a damp paper towel while you form the remaining dumplings.
- Fill a large nonstick skillet with 1/4 inch of water and bring to a boil. Working in batches, add the dumplings and arrange in a single layer, cover and let steam until cooked through, about 5 minutes. (If the water evaporates before the dumplings are fully cooked, add 2 more tablespoons to the skillet.) Carefully transfer the dumplings to a serving plate.
- Ponzu Dipping Sauce
- Combine 3 tablespoons ponzu sauce, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 chopped scallion in a small bowl.

HOMEMADE PORK DUMPLINGS
I grew up eating this pork dumpling recipe. My mom used to make them, and my brother and I would sit in the kitchen to help her make around 100 dumplings in one sitting! We used to freeze them and eat them throughout the month. -Emma Lovewell, New York, New York
