Chinese Dumplings

2 lbs ground turkey
1 1/2 Tbsp
corn starch (cornflour)
1 1/2 Tbsp
dry sherry
3 Tbsp light soy sauce
1 Tbsp ginger, grated or finely chopped
6cloves garlic, crushed, minced or pressed
6green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 pkg wonton wrappers
peanut oil

Dipping Sauce

1 1/2 cup fish sauce (You may want to dilute this with
water, depending on its strength)
1 cup vinegar
1 cup sugar
6cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 Tbsp ginger, finely minced or grated
1 Tbsp red pepper, crushed

Procedure

Make the dipping sauce by mixing together all of its ingredients. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.

Stir together everything but the wrappers and the peanut oil. Mix vigorously by hand until it begins to bind together. (About 1 minute or so.)

Place 1 1/2-2 Tbsp of filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Fold the sides up around the meat so that you have a little bag or cup. Press the bottom flat so that the bag doesn't fall over.

Oil racks of the steamer with peanut oil. Place dumplings in racks.

Steam for 15 to 20 minutes in covered rack over boiling water.

Serve hot with dipping sauce.
