I love this recipe. I've been making it for years, ever since I found it in Vegetarian Times (where it was originally printed). It takes a while to fold the dumplings, but the results are more than worth the effort.

I haven't tried your dumplings but I was looking for a nice dipping sauce and it was really good just the one I was looking for. Thanks!
