Combine dumpling ingredients in bowl except for the wrapper. Mix well.
Let sit in the ref for a few minutes before wrapping. This would allow the flavors to develop and for easy wrapping.
Take a dumpling wrapper and put a tsp of filling in the middle. Wipe the edges with some water and fold over. Pinch the edges making sure they adhere. Crimp the edges for a pretty presentation when they cook.
Heat some cooking oil in a pan. Mix a dash of sesame oil in it and start to brown the bottom of your dumplings.
After browning pour in about 1/2 cup of water. Lower the heat, cover and let steam. You can add more water in case it dried out fast and d dumpling still not done. Steaming would take about 10 minutes.
