Lemongrass Gyoza (Pot Stickers/Dumplings)

D Rusak's Note:

I had some dumplings at a tasty tea house in West Philly. Sadly, the dumplings were not nearly as good as the tea. I thought I could do better. You could use this as a filling for spring rolls too (definitely include the noodles for this).

Excellent filling. I used rice paper wrappers and fluted the triangle edge with a fork. These freeze really well. When I take some from the freezer I will fry them in a skillet with some chicken or veggie broth. Served with a sweet Thai Chilli sauce Excellent Thanks
