You might want to check for "Dim Sum Dumplings" at Amazon or Barnes &
Noble. Books. You could also try this:
Shu Mai (Siu Mai) Dumplings
Ingredients:
* 1/2 lb ground pork
* 2 dried chinese mushrooms, soaked, then trimmed & chopped fine
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh green ginger
* 2 green onions chopped fine
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon rice wine
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil
* 2 tablespoons potato starch
* dash of salt, or to taste
* 24 gyoza wrappers
Preparation
Combine all ingredients except for the wrapper, mixing well. Place
about a
tablespoon of filling on each wrapper, and gather up the sides to
form
ripples, leaving the center open. Wack the bottom of the dumpling on
the
counter so that it will stand up. When all the shu mai are filled,
steam in
a bamboo steamer for about 5-6 minutes, until cooked. Serve with sweet
and
sour sauce or other dipping sauces.

Hi Philip,

Those are good. Jun makes a similar Thai version, but I'm generally
excluded from the kitchen when she's cooking. I'm not sure what kind of
mushrooms she uses, nor if she just uses soy sauce, or that along with
oyster or fish sauce. She keeps about two dozen sauces next to the stove. I
know she doesn't use rice wine nor potato starch. She might use tapioca,
rice or corn starch, but if I stick my head in the kitchen, I risk getting
whacked with a cast iron pan (just kidding). She has another kitchen at the
Sri Lankan temple, about five blocks away. She often prepares the food
there, then brings it home to the King (that's me)!

Those bamboo steamers are great, stackable and versatile.
