"These are crisp and light, made in great quantities at Grace Hong's annual Dumpling Fest. The dumpling filling comes together quickly with a food processor. If no processor is available, chop the filling ingredients into very small pieces, each no larger than a grain of rice. Serve with Korean Seasoned Dipping Sauce (see related recipe). Make Ahead: The filling can be refrigerated for a few hours in advance. Uncooked dumplings can be covered and refrigerated for about an hour in advance. Leftover dumplings can be reheated in a 325-degree oven for about 10 minutes or until crisped and warm. You'll need a thermometer for monitoring the oil. Where to Buy: The gyoza skins, rice vermicelli noodles, Chinese chives, Korean sesame oil and crushed, toasted sesame seeds are available at Asian markets such as H Mart...."
