I used tofu instead of pork and they turned out really well! Dipping them in some peanut sauce makes them twice as good maybe I'll just put a little peanut sauce in the wrapper before frying them.

This is one of my favorite recipes- easy to make and delicious, but they do take a little time. Definitely worth it though. I followed the instructions for freezing (see JENNYINHRE's recommendation), and this works great- so you can make extra, and get several meals out of one prep session. the frozen dumplings taste as good as the fresh ones- just pull them from the freezer and steam for about 20 minutes. Even when frozen, they never last long at my house.

Pretty decent but I prefer a little more punch in the flavor. I only had 1-1/4 lb of ground pork/chicken mixture to begin with (I grind my own meats). I didn't add all that sesame oil (I have toasted sesame oil) & used 2 t which was plenty. I don't know why anyone (reviewers) would cook meat 1st, it's NOT necessary. I use Gyoza wrappers (found in the freezer section @ groc store) not wontons. I have a small plastic press (it folds in half) that gyoza wrappers fit on perfectly for forming. Mine look almost identical to traditional 'pleats'; creates uniform pieces and that step goes a bit quicker. I also use 1 T filling per dumpling. Next time I'll increase ginger/grn onion and add some minced water chestnuts along with chili paste and salt. I didn't an egg either - what for? I would suggest cooking a Tblsp of filling to taste for possible seasoning adj b4 wrapping. Recipe is good starting point but needed a few adjustments for my own pref. I freeze em in batches and store in freezer zip bag. For cooking: I fry bottoms a bit first and I don't add as much water. I cover to steam, let evaporate and then fry again on the bottom (med/low heat)until lightly crispy. I've yet to have oil splatter issues or uncooked filling. Good stuff!

I would halve the amount of sesame oil - it overwhelms even the ginger! Also, maybe cook the cabbage a bit before adding to the mix? The cabbage was unfortunately crunchy in the finished product, at least when I made them directly without freezing first.

First time ever making dumplings, these were really good, i didnt expect them to come out restaurant style! Next time i make these I would add more soy sauce, the filling was a bit bland, but I think that had to do with the cabbage I used. I looked at reviews and next time I wont be adding any cabbage, it added too much of a crunch for my liking. This recipe is very time consuming, but fun to make =) will try with chicken next time! YUM!

Very good; but make sure that you know how to crimp the edges; I like them steamed; they need to lay in a single layer or else they stick together
