OMG! These are so fucking delicious. I would choose steamed dumplings over fried all day everyday. I honestly don’t crave asian dishes that much. If I do its usually dumplings or egg rolls. Literally anyone can make these, they are so easy and would actually be a fun family activity!

I feel like my explanation of the shaping of the dumpling sucks haha so here is a YouTube video! Yes, I know the video says potstickers, but this is how I shape my dumplings.

After you have shaped all of your dumplings, add a cup of water into an empty skillet and heat until it has started to boil. Add a metal rack into the water in the skillet. Add the dumplings onto the rack and cover with a lid You can also use a bamboo steamers or follow this video I have attached. Here are different ways to steam.

Steam for about 7 minutes. Repeat until you have steamed all of your dumplings. Remove and dip in sesame seeds, covering the bottom of the dumpling. In a small bowl pour in 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1 tsp of chili garlic sauce. Mix well, dip your steamed dumpling and enjoy!
