You're not trying hard enough.

need to get my kitchen set up
teaching gyoza/pot stickers today. Making the dough too.
Mmmm. We have a recipe for steamed buns with a pork filling that a visiting professor from China taught us to make. My brother-in-law works for a small liberal arts college and his family will act as host for professors visiting from other countries. This prof. was here for a year and we got together with her several times. She brought the dumplings to Thanksgiving dinner and we were so thrilled with them she invited us over to her place to learn to make them and then have a Chinese feast with her.
Anyway - the experience was awesome and my sister-in-law was writing down the recipe as the professor worked. We've made them several times. I've always wanted to potsticker them...I bet they'd be fantastic like that.

It's pretty much like a ravioli. You can put what you want in them.
It's the particular filling that the professor taught us that is soooooo good.
Was it a char siu kind of filling?
No. Finely chopped pork, garlic, ginger, lots of celery, five spice. I really dislike celery, but this is just sublime...
Now I'm intrigued.
Was it a bread like bun or more noodle?
It's a yeast dough, so breadlike. Steamed for about 8 minutes.
Julie (the prof.) referred to them as dumplings.
They look a lot like this:
