HEALTHY STEAMED DUMPLINGS



Healthy Steamed Dumplings image

My family loves Chinese food, but it's hard to find healthy choices in restaurants or at the grocery store. So instead, I make these healthy dumplings into a great family activity. With many hands helping out, filling the dumplings goes by fast. When we are done, we have lots of dumplings to put in the freezer for months to come. -Melody Crain, Houston, Texas
