Fried Jiaozi (or Chinese Dumplings)

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, brown the meat and drain off the grease.

2. 2

   Transfer the cooked meat to a medium sized bowl and set aside.

3. 3

   Then, in a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, salt, red wine, pepper, sesame oil, and ginger (add more spices to taste; it may seem salty but thats good!).

4. 4

   Add this sauce to the browned meat.

5. 5

   Cut up vegetables and add to the meat mixture.

6. 6

   Stir together until the meat and vegetables are covered with sauce.

7. 7

   If its not saucy enough for your taste, just add more soy sauce and sesame oil.

8. 8

   Take the won ton wrappers and add a heaping tablespoon of mixture to each wonton wrapper.

9. 9

   You can fold them how you want, but I folded the wrappers in half and pressed them tightly together.

10. 10

    I even had to dip the edges in water to get them to stick.

11. 11

    Next, heat some oil in a saucepan and fry on each side until brown, probably less than 2 minutes.

12. 12

    You can serve this with an optional dipping sauce (simply mix dipping sauce ingredients together).
