I’m making this for the 2nd time – I find the mixture very watery, maybe the eggs are too large – also the cooking time I seem to double..either way, I love them & also realized wontons are same ingredients so it’s a win-win situation 🙂

I lost the recipe I used to use for these, but I do remember the ingredients (just not the quantities). This has all the ingredients except two. The pork fat (added as 10% weight of the pork used) to add extra juiciness to the dumplings and finely diced water chestnut. The texture from the water chestnut is amazing. Thank you very much for sharing your recipe. I will be using this from now on.

These dumplings became favorites of mine while living in Hawaii. To make them myself would allow me to eat as many as I’d like! Also important is knowing exactly what’s in them. Frozen supermarket offerings are a bit suspect.
