A Taiwanese friend taught me this recipe! These dumplings are so cute, you can see through the skin and actually see the filling.
You'll be amazed at how beautiful they will turn out to be!

Hints:
The dumpling skins will dry out easily, so be sure to cover with a damp kitchen towel while working with the dough.

To evenly spread out the dough, press down the dough with a spatula or with a lid of a large can. Recipe by etsuko0914
