Photo: Steamed Dumpling Spoons with Special Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
For the dumplings:
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup finely chopped straw mushrooms (recommended: Polar)
- 3 scallions, green parts only, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
- 2 tablespoons hot and spicy Szechwan seasoning mix (recommended: Sun Luck)
- 21 gyoza or pot sticker wrappers
For the special sauce:
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Asian Chili paste
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
Directions
Special equipment: bamboo steamer
For the dumplings:
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped mushrooms, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, and seasoning mix. Stir thoroughly.
Place 1 tablespoon of filling on each wrapper and gather sides up to middle. Leave center of dumpling open. Tap bottom on counter so dumplings sit upright. To keep dumplings from drying out, cover with a damp paper towel until ready to steam.
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit bamboo steamer. Lightly spray with cooking spray and fit into steamer.
Place dumplings in steamer and set on top of a wok or medium pot of boiling water. Steam for 6 to 8 minutes or until filling is cooked through.
For the special sauce:
In a medium bowl, stir together all Special Sauce ingredients.
Serve dumplings on a Chinese soup spoon with a small amount of sauce.

Made these as written - great flavor. They did fall apart while taking them out of the steamer though. Nevertheless - everyone ate them and said they were good.

This is an easy and fun recipe to make, a hit at gatherings and delicious... The sauce is surprisingly good with the dumplings (a little tart by itself. The meat will hold together better if you add an egg to bind it. I am surprised she didn't put that in the recipe. Egg is in her other dumpling recipes. Also, it needs garlic... come on, its Asian. :
