How to make Dumpling ?

Dumpling is one of my favorite food. I learned how to make dumpling from my mother. There are some steps.
First, you need wrappings, meat, leeks and some seasoning. Then, mince the meat, leeks until they are mixed in a paste. Add some spice such as garlic stir them evenly. Next step is to put the filling in the wrapping. Then press the wrapping tight and a dumpling is ready. When you have made enough dumplings, the next step is to boil them. That is the last step. Put a pot of water on the stove. When the water is boiling, put the dumplig one by one into the water and cover the pot. When steam comes out, add more cold water and when it boils again add cold water again. When you see the Dumplings floating in boiling water, you can put them in bowls or plates, get the chopsticks and be ready to eat.
