The hardest thing about this recipe was not overeating! It went together easily. I added about 1 tbsp of finely minced water chestnuts to the pork filling, just because the ones I like in the restaurant have it, otherwise I made the recipe exactly as written. Had some trouble making the little dumplings until I figured out you have to dampen the edges with a wet finger, then they stayed closed nicely. Made 32, I probablyy used a bit too much filling in each. I will make this a regular!

This was fantastic and so easy to make. The only change I made was to add extra peanut butter to the sauce, otherwise made as directed. We had these for appetisers last night & everyone raved. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing this keeper.
