filling, pleating the edges. Place in the steamer basket, leaving 1/2
inch of space between the dumplings for the steam to circulate. Set

the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce,
vinegar, honey, oil and ginger. Serve the dumplings hot with the
dipping sauce. Makes 24 dumplings.
Note: Did not feel like going out for wrappers I substituted alum
foil for wrappers. 4 inch square. Did not spray the basket. Added 2
beaten eggs to filling. After steaming, carefully unfolded 6
dumplings onto each of 4 indivual plates .Made double the amount of
sauce and dabbed it on on the dumplings instead of dipping.
