These dumplings are really good. The only change was that I used cooked shrimp and more than required as I needed to use them up. I mixed everything in my food processor so it was easy to make. For the broth I added the soy sauce and broccoli, carrots, green onion, mushrooms snow peas, and cilantro. For personal preference, I also added in a little soy sauce and some chicken soup base. Thanks for the recipe.
