Method SERVES 4

Step 1
In bowl combine water chestnuts, shrimp, pork, green onion, soy sauce, Gourmet Garden Parsley, Ginger and Garlic until thoroughly mixed.

Step 2
Place about 1 tbsp. (15 mL) of the mixture in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Fold in half to make a semicircle. Using moistened fingers, fold pleats along the edge to secure filling. Arrange dumplings on a platter, cover with a damp towel as you work. Repeat to make 24 dumplings.

Step 3
In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Arrange half of the dumplings in the pan and fry until pale golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) of water, cover and cook until liquid is gone and dumplings are crisp, about 7 to 10 minutes. Do not stir. Transfer to platter and repeat with remaining dumplings.

Step 4
In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar and Gourmet Garden Chili Pepper. Serve with warm dumplings.
