With Chinese New Year just around the corner (February 12, 2021) it’s time for dumplings.  Coming in many shapes, sizes, and fillings, it’s hard not to like these little flavor pouches. Often naturally vegetarian and steamed, they are a lighter option if you’re trying to purge from the last few months of the holiday eating without losing all the fun of mealtime.
