the mixture is cool begin making the dumplings by laying out one wonton,
brush the edge with water , put 1 teaspoon of the filling into the middle
and fold the edge over on the diagonal to from a packet. Trim the edges to
eliminate the square corners. Dust the finished dumplings with a light

until ready to cook.

To cook the finished dumplings, bring water to a boil in a large skillet in
which a steamer basket may be nestled. When the water is boiling, insert
the basket with the dumplings and steam for 6 minu tes or until fully
cooked. The dough will change color and texture when cooked. Serve with
sweet mustard dip.
