Woohooo! My mom used to make this stuff... we kids called it frisky chicken... and it was good! Your recipe sounds great and I look forward to trying it. I may have to toss in a bit of red pepper just to make it a little more frisky.

Tried this and thought it was very good! Did add minced garlic and a little red pepper for an extra zing. The dumplings were great.
