Mushroom Dumplings
If you are not a spinach or mushroom lover, try replacing spinach with Bok Choy and mushrooms with ToFu. Want some color, throw in slivers of carrots! Looking for more tried and true recipes, check out my previous posts here:

A tray of steamed dumplings can look a little bland. Try making a few different dipping sauces. It provides different colors and flavors to your table. These dumplings look like little pillows with flowers on top. Try making different shapes like triangles, Chinese cookies, these pillows, or half moons! Use different ceramic dishes in different colors to make your table come alive! Create a fun centerpiece using cherry blossoms and votive candles.
Enjoy!
