 Directions

*Recipe is included in this collection. PREPARATION: Mix all
ingredients except wonton skins. WRAPPING: Trim off 4 corners of wonton
skins to form circles. Drop 1 tsp. mixture onto middle of the skin, gather
up skin sides, letting the dough pleat naturally. Flatten top and give the
middle a light squeeze while tapping the bottom on a flat surface so
it will stand upright. STEAMING: Arrange dumplings in an 8 inch round cake
pan. Set pan on the steam rack in the wok. Fill bottom of wok with
water. Cover. Steam for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot with a sesame oil
and soy sauce dip. (1 part sesame oil to 2 parts light soy sauce.) DO
AHEAD NOTES: Steam dumplings. Cool and freeze. Reheat by s
teaming again for 12-15 minutes. COMMENTS: Insert toothpicks for
easy serving. If you use a bamboo or aluminum steamer, place dumplings
directly on the rack without the cake pan. Steam for the same amount of
time. Since steamed d umplings can be made ahead and reheated in great
quantities they make marvelous hors d'oeuvres for large cocktail parties.
The two-tier aluminum steamer works particularly well. Source: "Dim Sum" by
