I gave it a shot tonight: I bought egg roll wrappers (as far as I can tell, these are the same as wonton wrappers, just a little bigger), sizzled up some sweet Italian sausage, and made soup dumplings... a little water around the edge, a spoon of sausage, a spoon of cacciatore broth jelly, pinch pinch pinch, and into the steamer.
I think I did my part pretty well. Unfortunately, my steamer jig was not flat so the dumplings got caught on the ridges and stuck to each other a bit, too. Next time, I will use something flat and lay down a lettuce leaf (like I see in the Chinese restaurant). I'll probably also give the outside a quick swish of oil.
But I'm very encouraged, as is Pumpkin. Thank you, Tom, for the suggestion!
