Chinese dumplings are made with a thin dough wrapper that is usually circular in shape.The filling can vary, but it often includes minced pork, cabbage, and scallions, seasoned with soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil.Some people also add in other ingredients such as mushrooms or shrimp.The filling is then wrapped in the dough wrapper and sealed into a half-moon shape.
To cook Chinese dumplings, they are usually boiled in water.The dumplings are cooked until they float to the top and the filling is cooked through.They can also be steamed or pan-fried, depending on personal preference.
