And the celebration of Tết is upon us. As such the obligatory post for some form of Asian dish is required.

The SheWolf is partial dumplings of the potsticker variety, but these can be steamed, or cooked in a broth for a dumpling soup..

The creation of these is not arduous, and one can substitute soya or other vegetarian crumbles for the meat components.

From Wikipedia:

Dumpling is a broad classification for a dish that consists of pieces of dough (made from a variety of starch sources) wrapped around a filling, or of dough with no filling. The dough can be based on bread, flour or potatoes, and may be filled with meat, fish, cheese, vegetables, fruits or sweets. Dumplings may be prepared using a variety of methods, including baking, boiling, frying, simmering or steaming and are found in many world cuisines.

Notes

One can use a lean pork sausage for this, hot or mild, your choice.

Round wonton wrappers are much easier to fold, but if one uses my noodle dough, one can roll very thin and cut squares for wrappers …

Several dipping sauces are on the site; one or many of those will provide a tasty complement to these.
