This months cook challenge was hosted by Jen at Use Real Butter and called for you to make Chinese Dumplings/Potstickers. You had to make the wrappers yourself (no cheating by purchasing store bought wrappers).
I made the wrappers using whole wheat flour and filled them with a pork filling. They turned out great. Pleating the wrappers was a bit of a challenge for me, but all in all it was great recipe and a delicious meal!
The filling - Ground pork, bamboo shoots, green onions, ginger, shitake mushrooms, and cabbage

My dumpling - not the best pleats, but they will do
Dinner is served. Nice crispy bottoms. Served with dipping sauce and broccoli slaw.

Great job! This was my first challenge too, and I thought the pleating would be the end of me. Way to go!
These look very tasty. Sounds like a fun challenge!
Yum. This was my first Daring challenge too. You did great!

Nice work on your first challenge! Weren't they yummy?! It's fun seeing what everyone else did with their dumplings :)
Mmm! Those dumplings are soooo cute. I love how fat they are and that you made them whole wheat which is something I haven't gotten around to trying yet. Great job and especially for your first challenge. Here's to many many more :) Yay!
What a great job you did on your 1st challenge way to go and yes you are right the DCooks' are so much fun and everybody in it for the recipes and getting new skills. Wonderful effort and great photos and you did wholewheat even better. Cheers from Audax in Australia
Aw, thanks, Carrie! I loved your sweet comments--they totally made my day. As for the crash hot potatoes...I just realized I never blogged them, so now I've got to! Stay tuned, dude.
Looks like your dumplings turned out really well, great job!
What a great idea to serve them with slaw to counteract all the greasiness from the oil!
Great job! I didn't serve mine with anything and it was obviously missing something...what a great idea to serve with slaw!
Can't wait for the next recipe!
What a nice job you did. The dumplings and your photos of them look like they were done by s professional. Kudos.
Whole wheat wrappers yield more satisfying dumplings. I love them! Great job and congrats on your first completed DC challenge!
Great idea on using whole wheat wrappers. Sounds hearty and healthy. Great job!
I've never tried a whole wheat wrapper dumpling, but yours make me want to. Love the slaw, and your dumplings and photos are great!
