Korean Steamed Dumplings
"Joy Luck Club"
Serves 10 | Prep Time 60 minutes | Cook Time 30 minutesWhy I Love This Recipe
This receipe was passed down from my great grandparents to my parents. Every year, especially during the Korean New Year we make this at home with my family. Whether you're a vegetarian or carnivore, there are variety of ingredients you can add or replace in this receipe. Also, if you prefer to fry, steam or add it in soups. It's a great way to get all the family together, especially the kids will enjoy making it. Can get bit messy, but that's half the fun. The other is sampling along the way.
