Notes
* Blot on diluted food coloring to the top of the “petals” for a pop of color. Use white wrappers to avoid muddying the colors.
* Use round wrappers to achieve the rose shape. If you’re only able to find square ones, you can use a circular cookie cutter to cut out rounds.
* You may also use 4 wrappers per rose but you’ll end up with less dumplings.
* Keep the wrappers and the assembled dumplings sealed to prevent them from drying which prevents hardening and cracking.
* This can work with any filling like veggie or pork and shrimp. Just make sure it’s finely ground.
