Easy Chinese Dumplings W/Dipping Sauce image

My family adores these! I call them easy because I make the filling in the food processor and use wonton wrappers in place of the homemade dough. I am including dough recipe for those who want to try it. You can freeze these before cooking for later use. You can substitute chicken or shrimp with equally good results. You can steam them or deep fry them, if desired.
