Title: Gingery Steamed Dumplings
Categories: Lowfat Chinese
Yield: 4 Servings

1	pk	Garden Sausage (Wholesome &
		Hearty Foods, INc.>
		Fresh hot-tasting powdered
		Ginger
		Kikkoman lite soy sauce
1	pk	Won ton wrappers
		Few Chinese style pea pods

This is one of the few things in life that sounds too good to be true, but isn't!

Warm 4 patties at a time in the microwave for about 30 seconds, which is hopefully time enough to thaw them but not make them too hot to handle. Lay out several won ton wrappers, then put a little wad of the Garden Sausage (I got about 6 dumplings per patty) in the center of each wrapper. Sprinkle with ginger and soy sauce. I put a little slice of pea pod in about 1/2 of the dumplings just to make it more interesting.

Pinch the won ton wrappers closed at the top. Put as many as will fit side by side into a steamer basket in a sauce pan (at least that's how I did it because the rice steamer was occupado) with a little boiling water in the bottom. Cover and steam for 5+ minutes. The won ton wrappers I used came covered in a little flour and I figured that when the wrappers looked moist rather than floury they were done.

Serve with little dishes of hot Asian-style mustard and /or light soy sauce. Date: Fri, 10 Feb 95 18:10:00 PST From: sally charette
