Daring Cooks May Challenge: Chinese Dumplings

Wow, our first Daring Cooks challenge.

All 4 of us participated in some way or another. S was anxious to actually make the dumplings, she didn't care as much to make the fillings and dough, but was pretty patient. R was tugging on my pants the whole time and did not help one bit!

We had made dumplings before where you drop them in the boiling water, so to mix it up a bit we tried the potsticker and steamed versions.

Also we tried the shrimp and pork fillings. We usually make pork filling, but this one had a bit fewer ingredients. Overall we were most pleased with the shrimp potstickers, but the steaming was really easy to do.

Turned over after frying... a bit too brown, but tasty nonetheless!
