Chinese new year recipes

Here in the Philippines, Chinese New Year came the day after Ash Wednesday, so the local Bishop told the Chinese they didn't have to fast and abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday.

Included is a recipe for Chinese dumplings. Before I came to the Philippines, I didn't realize that stuffed Dumplings were a Chinese food.

Of course, we aren't in an area with many Chinese, but among our fast food vendors are chinese dumplings (Shaopao) and various dumsin. And along with McDonalds, Jolibee, and Kentucky Fried Chicken are the ChungKing and other fast food outlets with Chinese food.
