In reply to Melinda. Yes you can steam them in a bamboo steamer and steam for 10 minutes.

Can you stem them in a bamboo steamer? How long?

In reply to Cheryl. The filling is juicy but not as soupy as soup dumplings, so there shouldn't be a big issue. I think it would be helpful to add the 1/4 teaspoon salt (from the recipe) to the zucchini. Mix it well and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. So the zucchini will release less water in the potsticker. I think that should be sufficient to make the recipe into postickers.

Hi Maggie, how can I adapt this recipe into lamb potstickers? I’m assuming a soupy filling wouldn’t be great in that application. My favourite Xinjiang restaurant makes a super yummy panfried lamb (and fennel?) dumpling that I’d love to recreate!

These were fantastic! In my case I used ground lamb shoulder and they turned out spectacularly!

This one is now my default recipe, I love it so much; Making dumplings from scratch is now a great way for sister bounding in my family, and I am grateful.

Second time making this and it’s SO good. I definitely had filling left over so I would double the recipe and do three packs of dumpling wrappers! The second time I also did 1/2 beef and 1/2 lamb and it was still so tasty.
Thank you so much for the great recipe.

In reply to Lisa Wolf. The lamb is raw when you wrap them in and they will be fully cooked through when you cook the dumplings.
