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.
One can take the finished dumplings and steam or add to a broth for a dumpling soup ala Jiaozi.
