Health benefits of Healthy Steamed Dumplings Recipe

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 cup finely shredded Chinese or napa cabbage
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup minced chives
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-3/4 pounds lean ground turkey
50 pot sticker or gyoza wrappers
6 cabbage leaves
Sweet chili sauce, optional

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the first 12 ingredients. Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly.
Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of each pot sticker wrapper. (Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten wrapper edge with water. Fold wrapper over filling; seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch. Stand dumplings on a work surface to flatten bottoms; curve slightly to form crescent shapes, if desired.
Line a steamer basket with six cabbage leaves. In batches, arrange dumplings 1 in. apart over cabbage; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; steam, covered, 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Discard cabbage. If desired, serve with chili sauce. Freeze option: Cover and freeze cooled dumplings on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to a large resealable plastic freezer bag. To use, microwave dumplings, covered, for 30-45 seconds or until heated through.
