Combine filling ingredients together. Combine dipping sauce ingredients together (to follow). Take one wonton wrapper and brush a little water over the circles and place about 2 teaspoons. filling in the center. Fold circles in half and press to seal, making sure to squeeze out any air.
Stand dumplings up on folded side and press slightly so that they stand up. To cook, bring pot of salted water to a boil, and boil dumplings until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain well (The dumplings may be frozen at this time for future use. This recipe make 6-8 dozen).

Or you can take the easy route and buy Ling. Ling.’s potstickers at Walmart or Sam’s Club (they come in pork and chicken. They come with their own sauce packet, but I prefer this recipe).
