Steamed Duck Dumplings

2 cups water

6oz duck breast finely diced

1/3 cup onion or spring onion finely diced

2 garlic clove, pressed

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

9 wonton wrappers

Step One:  

Place a vegetable steamer in to a 4-6 quart pot.  Add two cups of water, and bring the water to boil. Reduce to a simmer ,and lid the pot.  Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.  Add the duck and onions to the skillet. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, soy sauce, and pepper flakes.  Continue heating while stirring for 2 minutes. 

 Step Two:

Lay the wrappers on a cutting board and place 1/2 teaspoon of the duck filling onto each wrapper.   Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold into a triangle  sealing the sides by pressing the edges together.

Step Three: 

Increase the temperature under the pot to medium high heat to achieve a rolling boil. Add the dumplings to the vegetable steamer in small batches at a time. The goal is to steam them so that the dumplings do not stick to each other.  Steam the dumplings for  about 1 minute per batch.
