A very traditional asian foods appetizer takes a bit of time to assemble, however if you are into asian cooking this is so worth the time.

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil shopping list
1/2 teaspoon sugar shopping list
1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch shopping list
2 tablespoons vegatable oil shopping list
3/4 cup chicken broth shopping list

Place flour in a large bowl
make a well in the center of flour
pour bowling water into the well in the flour stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to hold together
knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and stainy about 5 minutes

I've had my hand at homemade egg rolls, steamed pork dumplings, and even sushi....I look forward to making these, as most pre-made ones aren't - shall we say - as fresh'n'good as they COULD be??? Thanks for the post, Youtoo!
