Steamed Vegetarian Dumplings
These tasty vegetarian morsels will be a welcome addition to your next party. Making your own dumplings is really not as hard as you may think, and they will be so much more delicious than the 'straight from the freezer section' variety. Don't let the 'black fungus' turn you off. And if you can't find it, never fear. You can omit if necessary.
