These dumplings have a hearty filling that's easy to make and a dipping sauce that's too irresistible to pass up. I prepare them in advance and freeze them. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Ingredients

4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

Steps:

(Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.), Moisten wrapper edges with water. Fold wrapper over filling; seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch.

In batches, place dumplings in basket. Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a low boil; steam, covered, 4-5 minutes or until cooked through., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Serve with dumplings.
