Steamed Dumplings

Nectarine for breakfast and last night's soup (2/3 of a serving) for lunch.

Looked in the fridge for some protein (as we're currently running low on fresh veggies) for dinner and saw shrimp so I decided to make Steamed Buns.

I got the recipe here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/steamed-bun-dough-recipe/index.html

Despite two nights in a row that I used Emeril's recipes, I don't normally care for his much.  He's a bit fond of funky flavors and salt.  As for the recipe, I didn't alter much.  Used 2 cups wheat flour and 1/2 cup all purpose, and for the shrimp mix I only used about 3 tablespoons of soy sauce.  Trust me, it's plenty.  Oh, and I used splenda in the shrimp mixture instead of sugar.  These are Cora's favorites.

Made some potsticker sauce to go with it: about 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.  Mix together.  It's quite spicy.

Had some orange juice to go with it.
