Ingredients:
1 === the filling ===
1 lb ground chicken
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp dry sherry
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp msg
1 pinch sugar
1 tbsp chopped green onion
1 egg white
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp medium-chopped bamboo
1 shoots
1 or water chestnuts
2 garlic cloves -- crushed
1 === the wrapper ===
1 package shu-mei skins or gyoza
1 skins
Instructions:
* Note: Available at most supermarkets. Mix together all the
ingredients for the filling; mix them well. Place about 3/4
tablespoon of the filling in the center of each noodle wrapper and
bring up the corners so that you have a little money bag. Leave the
top open so you can see some of the meat. For fun you might put 1
frozen green pea on the top of each for added color. Steam in an
oiled bamboo steamer for 15 minutes on high heat.
Note: You can also add a bit of shrimp to this dish. It adds a
great deal of flavor. Try about 1/2 cup of chopped fresh shrimp.
Hint: Use lettuce circles for steaming small dumplings. Simply cut
iceberg lettuce into small circles using a cookie cutter. Place a
little circle under each dumpling o r shu-mei. No stick and lots of
flavor. Comments: These are easy to make and probably the most
popular dim sum I know. They resemble little money bags and are
offered at the Chinese New Year because they help anticipate wealth.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
"The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg - not by smashing it." - Arnold Glasow
