  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/04/2009   Made this tonight for supper, and what's not to like? Easy prep, clean flavors, and--my goodness--who's going to complain about dumplings? Two small changes: I took the advice of one of the other commenters here and added a bit of soy sauce midway through (we also passed some tamari around the table later); also, although the stated recipe calls for a "medium saucepan," I used a large saucepan and will likely bump up to a small dutch oven next time, just to ensure plenty of room.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/30/2008   This was DELICIOUS. I am definatley adding this to my dinner rotation. I made my own dumplings w/ ground chicken. Use the Japenese Dumpling recipe on Martha Stewart.com !! So yummy  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   For a vegetarian soup use vegable broth and vegetable dumplings.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   Adding a bit of low sodium soy sauce or tamari (aged soy sauce) would add some extra flavor dimensions to the soup.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   I make my own soups and have frequently added ready made frozen Japanese Dumplings (called Gyoza). These dumplings are very similar to Chinese Potsticker Dumplings in taste and content.I would buy the dumplings in either chicken, shrimp, or vegetable varieties in bags at Trader Joe's Markets. Very tasty!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   The idea is for quick and healthy. Pick another day to make your scratch dumplings and put them in your freezer. Who has time after work to make them? As in any recipe substitutions can be made to suit your own taste, mushrooms, onions etc. This sounds like a fabulous recipe. Prepared frozen meatballs would be good in this recipe, any flavour. ktcanada  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   My goodness, I love the frozen dumpling idea. Perfect for nights when I can't or don't want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen! I am sure Katee24 is correct about finding the recipe for the dumpling itself.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   most grocery stores carry a brand of frozen dumplings - check the frozen horsdeuvers section. : )  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   i bought some of the wonton wrappers to do another recipe and there was a great dumpling recipe included on the packaging.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   I think it might also be good to use rice noodles with this in place of dumplngs.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   When a recipe calls for white and green parts only of a scallion (green onion) I use the white and medium green (middle) parts, not the dark green tops. I have never used Shiitake mushrooms. Does anyone know what "caps halved" means? Does it mean slice the mushroom in half from top to bottom, then thinly slice those two halves? I have never seen frozen dumplings at the store....guess it is time to browse the frozen section.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   Wow - There are some grouchy cooks out there today! Get over yourselves already! The recipe sounds like a quick and tasty dinner for a busy cook. I'm busy, like to cook and I think I'll serve this one tonight.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   Did you two happen to notice this is called "Everyday Food," as in meals that can be made not for special occasions, but for family dinners? And did you not see on the email that the editors specifically mentioned this requiring "minimal cleanup"? Good for you that you have time to make dough from scratch, grind the pork filling, stuff it and steam the dumplings, but for those of us with two small children who work and still need to cook a nice dinner, we LOVE a shortcut.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   The Dinner Tonight recipe's (which is what this one is) are created to have a prep time of 30 minutes or less, so that they can be made quickly for your family after say a long day at work. They are not meant to be all-day event, made from scratch recipes. If you would like a dumpling recipe, you might try doing a search of this website. I'm sure there are plenty.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   I too would like to see the dumpling recipe included. That's why I come here... looking for recipes from scratch. The only part left on a green onion or scallion besides the green part and the white part is the roots. Silly.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   I THOUGHT THE OBJECT OF COOKING FROM A RECIPE IS TO HAVE A MEAL COOKED FROM SCRATCH. I WOULD LIKE THE RECIPE FOR THE DUMPLING AS WELL.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2008   The white part of the onion is towards the bottom, I like it but most recipes say green part only (which is the top portion)  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/05/2008   you are absolutely right - it should simply say thinly sliced. Thanks!
