[amb_2730]

Since The Lunar New Year is here I made dumplings with spinach and tomato wrappers from scratch.

mmhmm, you want this recipe don't you? Well too bad!

Wow. Really? Really?

Don't ever move to New England. Just saying.

The correct term would be "yaki gyoza," yaki coming before gyoza as it means "baked/grilled/cooked" and gyoza meaning "dumpling."

Looks like a good recipe! Similar to the one that I use.

My mom calls them jao tzu (not sure of that's the right spelling) but she's always jumping dialects on me and I'm not sure whether that's Shanghai, Cantonese, Mandarin or I dunno what.

I've either misremembered or Mom may not have bothered to differentiate the terms. She was sick a lot when I was little, so my Chinese suffered. (Dad's a western beast and has problems with the tones.)

She did, however, teach me how to cook. For which I am grateful, as I can at least handle making both wontons and guo tie. Still can't get a satisfactory scallion cake or cha siu bao, though. Which may be just as well, as there's too much of me as there is.

Thanks for all the comments and also correcting my terminology. I fixed the post so it's less confusing. :D
