Spicy Chinese Dumplings
Chinese New Year recipes

Ingredients:
Makes about 30 dumplings
1/2 pound ground chicken
1/4 cup minced green onion
1/4 cup finely-chopped fresh coriander
2 teaspoons finely-grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
1/3 cup minced shiitake mushrooms
1/2 cup minced Napa cabbage
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
30 round Chinese dumpling wrappers
Coriander, chopped peanuts and minced red bell pepper, for garnish

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients from chicken down through salt in a bowl, just until they are blended.
Lightly brush edges of a dumpling wrapper with water. Place 1 tablespoon chicken mixture in center of wrapper and fold in half. Pinch edges to seal and pinch pleats around curved edge.
Repeat with remaining ingredients, placing dumplings on a tray in a single layer. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook (dumplings may be formed up to 2 hours ahead of time).
At serving time, boil 2 quarts of water in large wok or saucepan. Gently drop dumplings into water, several at a time. Cook 5-6 minutes or until cooked through. Remove with slotted spoon, drain briefly, and place in warm serving bowls.
Serve with soy sauce or other dipping sauce on side or drizzled on top, and garnish with items such as coriander, chopped peanuts and minced red bell pepper.
Note: For mild flavor, omit chili oil.
