Boiled Pork Dumplings with Spicy Peanut Sauce

These were like Asian tortellinis. They had a great crunchy, spicy peanut sauce, tender wrapper and meaty filling. When making these, make sure you have all the ingredients for the peanut sauce together before you start cooking the dumplings since you need to start cooking the peanut sauce just before the dumplings are done.
The peanut sauce with this would go well with many other Asian dishes. Try adding ginger and lime to go with a Thai chicken satay.
