Salmon Dumplings

Best served with spicy soy sauce. Salmon makes great dim sum.

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh salmon, skinned, boned, and finely chopped
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 cup chopped chives
• About 2 dozen wonton wrappers cut into circles
• 1 egg, slightly beaten

1. Mix salmon, egg white, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and chives together. Place one tablespoon of mixture onto a wonton wrapper.
2. Fold dough over to form a half moon. Moisten edges with beaten egg, then starting at the right, make 1/4" pleats to the left until you reach the end; press to seal. Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil.
3. Poach 8 dumplings at a time about 1 minute, or until dough is cooked through. Drain and serve.
