I call it 'Amazing' because that's how good this is! I got the recipe from a food friend known as Frankieanne! The dumplings are so fluffy! They are not one bit pasty or soggy...which is how my dumplings usually turn out! Its such an easy recipe too! I added my photo...and I'll add a link to the photo of the inside of the dumpling so you can see how fluffy it is!
