This is a great recipe that can work as an appetizer or main course. In the past, I've used Pork, but I don't see why using ground chicken couldn't work either. The sauce is a perfect compliment. If you like dumplings from your favorite asian restaurant, you'll enjoy these...and don't forget the dipping sauce! This is tried and true with many a compliment. Adapted from a Foodtv recipe. Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground lean pork |
1 scallion, minced |
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 teaspoon dry sherry |
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 (12 ounce) package wonton skins (about 48) |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil |
1 scallion, sliced |
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |

2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil as you make the dumplings.
3. Using one wonton skin at a time, put 1 teaspoons dumpling mixture in the center of each skin. Be sure to keep other skins covered with a damp paper towel as you work.
4. Moisten the edges of the wonton skin and bring edges together. Pinch to seal forming a triangle.
5. Next, bring both points of the tiangle shape together, pinch to seal.

7. Continue with a new wonton skin until all of the mixture has been used.
