These are easy to make once you have practiced a few times, and are great if you have some help. I prep the filling, the kids make a head start on wrapping the dumplings, while I run 2 pans on the stove, one frying for 3 minutes & then transfer to the other to steam for a further 3 minutes. Don't let them touch or they stick.
