    1 lb ground chicken
    2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
    3 green onions, chopped fine
    1/2 cup grated green cabbage
    1/2 peeled and finely diced granny smith apple
    2 tsp curry powder
    1/2 tsp brown sugar
    1 tsp salt
    2 tblsp sweet wine
    1/4 c fine fresh bread crumbs
    1 T finely chopped, rehydrated wood ear mushroom for color and texture
    2 T chopped roasted but unsalted peanuts for taste and texture
    1 package dumpling, shui mai or wanton wrappers

Makes about 25 dumplings as shui-mai, or 50 (a pkg of wrappers is about 50) conventional pot-stickers (they take less filling). Mix all ingredients together. Follow package directions or your own favorite method for stuffing. Steam for 20 minutes in a steamer basket or brown on one side in a large skillet, then add 1/2 cup water, put the lid on, and steam until dumplings are done and all water absorbed, about 10 minutes.
