While they can be made by scratch, these tasty dumplings were purchased frozen at a nearby Asian market. Look for dumplings that contain the ingredients you like (options vary, but often include such varieties as beef, pork, chicken, vegetable, and sometimes shrimp or seafood).
I usually look for dumplings made in the U.S. (usually in New York, New Jersey, or California near major Asian communities), but I've also had excellent varieties imported from China and Korea.
Use a steaming basket or wire rack to elevate the dumplings above a half-inch or so of boiling water in a covered saucepan for 7-10 minutes. Allowing the dumplings to sit in the boiling water leads to soggy dumplings :(
Enjoy with a hot cup of oolong tea. Happy Eating!
