 Categories: Diabetic, Appetizers
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      4 c  All-purpose flour
  1 1/2 c  Water
    1/2 lb Ground round
      2 ts Low-sodium soy sauce
      1 ts Sherry
      2 c  Fresh spinach; chopped -OR-
      1 c  Frozen spinach; thawed
      1 ts Fresh ginger; grated
    1/4 c  Water chestnut;
           - finely minced
      2    Green onions; chopped
 
  Mix flour and water. Add more water a teaspoon at a time until
  dough cleans bowl. Turn it out on a floured board; knead smooth.
  Wrap in plastic wrap, and set aside for 20 minutes.

  Brown and drain ground beef of all fat. Wash and dry fresh spinach,
  or dry frozen spinach. Combine with ground beef and remaining
  ingredients. Mix well.

  Form dough into a long roll 1 inch in diameter. Cut or break into
  1" sections. With your hands or a large glass, flatten each piece
  into a circle 3" in diameter. Place 1 tb filling in the center of
  each circle. With a finger dipped in water, dampen the edge of the
  circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press to seal. Brush a
  nonstick frying pan with 1/2 ts oil. Place the dumplings in the pan
  and brown them on each side.

  Add enough broth or water to come up to a third of the height of
  the dumplings. Cover pan tightly, and steam until water is all
  gone, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the dumplings hot or cold with
  sherry or vinegar for dipping.
