Roll dough out to 24 3" cicles. Put 1 tsp filling in each, pinch to close. Let rise on a greased plate or steamer for 30 minutes, steam while still on that plate or steamer for 10 minutes and serve hot (if you cover with foil after and place on a blech or in a warmed but turned off oven you can serve warm for Shabbos dinner, they hold well).

You can mix and match the fillings or substitute other asian style fillings of your choice. My family actually finds these filling recipes a little bland so I mix in a little sesame oil or other seasonings, but the recipes are good and the dumpling doughs are very easy, tasty, and forgiving.
