Steamed Sumplings

I meant to type dumplings but I liked this better. I started the day planning a stir fry using tofu that I had marinated in homemade Teriyaki sauce. I was going to steam some dumplings as an appetizer. I got bored in the afternoon and put together some Yakitori Sauce for the stir fry, figuring that I could save a little bit of it to dip the dumplings in. After that I made some Indonesian Satay Sauce because I still felt like cooking.

A quick run to the store and I had put together a pork/vegetable filling and a crabmeat filling for the little guys. Meag and I stood at the kitchen counter and stuffed wonton wrappers in between dumpling breaks. Maybe not the most traditional meal in the world, standing at the kitchen counter with a wokful of boiling water between us, getting cornstarch all over the place (both of us wearing black, to boot), and eating a bamboo tray at a time so that we could refill them but it was good.

I would definitely make the Satay sauce again but I would probably just make a 1/2 recipe as this made WAY too much for just the two of us. The Yakatori sauce was the big hit and went really well with the crab. Steamed dumplings were on my 100 list so this was cool.
