                       Dumplings:
                       your favorite sauteing liquid -- *
  2      cloves        garlic -- minced
  1      tablespoon    fresh ginger root -- grated
  1      tablespoon    chili paste
  3                    green onions -- sliced
  1      large         zucchini -- diced (about 4 cups)
  1                    red bell pepper -- diced (about 1 cup)
  1      tablespoon    fresh lime juice
    1/2  cup           fresh cilantro -- chopped
  1      pound         won-ton wrappers
                       Dipping Sauce:
    1/4  cup           tamari soy sauce
  2      tbs           rice vinegar
  1      tablespoon    sesame oil
    1/2  teaspoon      chili paste
  1      teaspoon      green onions -- minced

* Original called for 2 tbsp.  vegetable oil. I very rarely use any oil at to
saute. Without oil, the CFF is 10%. If you use the oil, the CFF is still
acceptable at 22%.

Makes 32

Saute the garlic, ginger, and chile paste for 1 minutes. Add the onions and
cook for 1 minute. Add zucchini and bell pepper and cook until the veggies are
tender, 3-4 minutes. Add lime juice and cilantro. Remove heat and allow to
cool. Coarsely chopin a food processor.
Place 1 tablespoon of filling in center of each won-ton wraper. Brush the
corners with a little water, then gather the sides together and pinch to make a
pouch.

Steam the dumplings in a lightly oiled steamer until tender, about 15 minutes.
Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.


Dipping Sauce:

Mix all the ingredients and set aside.
