I used to love having steamed dumplings in restaurants so I was determined to make my own gluten free version! These are so simple to make, they can be sealed using a dumpling press or by hand (there are many instructional videos online). I like to serve mine with dip made from tamari, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar.
