makes about 30

1/3 cup chopped cooked spinach
2 green onions, finely chopped
8 oz ground pork, chicken or turkey
2 tsp. grated ginger
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. Asian chili sauce (or Tabasco)
1/4 tsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
salt & pepper
2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
30 wonton wrappers (Loblaw's has them near the tofu section)
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
3/4 cup water

• Combine the spinach, onions, pork, ginger, soy sauce, chili sauce, sugar, and sesame oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir in cilantro.
   
• Brush edges of wrappers with water. Place about 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Bring the corners up to meet and pinch edges together.
   
• Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings so they are touching each other and cook until their bottoms are pale gold, about 1 minute. Pour in water and bring to a boil. Cover pan and steam the dumplings until they are firm to touch, about 3-4 minutes.
   
• Uncover an cook until water evaporates. Place on a serving dish and serve with interesting sauces (chili sauce, peanut sauce, etc...)
