Tips:

•If you can't find a Dumpling wrapper and want to make Siomai from scratch, here is the Wrapper procedure below:
    ◦Using a Food Processor (or you can do it manually, too) put in 2 cups all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt, and pulse 3 times.
    ◦Add a beaten egg and continue pulsing.
    ◦Add water, a tablespoon at a time until the dough becomes one big mass and collecting on one side of the processor.
    ◦Transfer on a floured board and knead until smooth, then form into small balls. Make sure to cover them with damp cloth so they don't dry out.
    ◦Flatten each ball and they're ready to be filled with your favorite filling.
•The egg and breadcrumbs act as binders so the meat filling will not fall apart once cooked.
•Hide the vegetables you want your kids to eat in the filling. Use the green onion stalks instead of the leaves so they will not see green and think they are eating vegetables.
