Healthy Steamed Dumplings image

My family loves Chinese food, but it's hard to find healthy choices in restaurants or at the grocery store. So instead, I make these healthy dumplings into a great family activity. With many hands helping out, filling the dumplings goes by fast. When we are done, we have lots of dumplings to put in the freezer for months to come. -Melody Crain, Houston, Texas

I'm not a big fan of dumplings, but these were actually pretty good. I liked the dipping sauce the best.

The dumplings were a bit difficult to fold, but they turned out great in the end. I'll definitely be making these again.

The dumplings were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of steaming them.

These dumplings were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.
