"This recipe is AMAZING," raves Lindsay. My fiance and I spent an afternoon making these and we even doubled the recipe. We made half with ground pork and half with ground turkey and they both taste equally as good!"
"Great recipe," according to MelissaGG. "Only thing I did differently was to make my own wrappers and I dipped them in boiling water first before steaming. The filling is excellent."
"So good," says fennellylisa. "I didn't change anything. I made a dipping sauce with soy, ginger, and scallions. My husband raved."

Place 1 heaping teaspoon of pork filling onto each wonton skin. Moisten edges with water and fold edges over to form a triangle shape. Roll edges slightly to seal in filling. Set dumplings aside on a lightly floured surface until ready to cook.

Arrange dumplings in a covered bamboo or metal steamer so they don't touch to prevent them from sticking together; steam for 15 minutes, or until pork is cooked through.
