“This recipe is AMAZING,” raves Lindsay. My fiance and I spent an afternoon making these and we even doubled the recipe. We made half with ground pork and half with ground turkey and they both taste equally as good!”

“Great recipe,” according to MelissaGG. “Only thing I did differently was to make my own wrappers and I dipped them in boiling water first before steaming. The filling is excellent.”

“So good,” says fennellylisa. “I didn’t change anything. I made a dipping sauce with soy, ginger, and scallions. My husband raved.”
