These shiitake dumplings are surprisingly easy to make and impressive to look at. They are also delicious. Pretty much a win win win if you ask me: Easy, Impressive, Delicious. Can’t really argue with that.
You can substitute ground turkey for the venison if you would prefer.

Serve with a fruity Sauvignon Blanc or a glass of Vigonier, if you have some!
I just happen to have a bottle of Vigonier on the rack. Soup looks good and I love anything with an Asian flavor. Thanks
Ahh…Phyllis, you are a woman after my own heart!
Too bad we didn’t live close enough to share that Vigonier….
xxoo,

This looks declicious. It’s still cold here so a nice bowl of soup sounds delicious.
This looks wonderful and so perfect for such a cold windy day…I think my toe nails won’t be seeing the sun for awhile yet! ;D
RMW you are reading my mind again. It’s getting a bit cold here so comfort food in the form of soup in the order of the day. This looks fantabulous!
Your step by step photos make it look so easy and delicious!
Yumm! (but don’t I always seem to start out that way , whenever I read and comment on one of your food posts??? :o)
Just wanted to pop back to say:
:o) Thank you so much for your sweet comment :o) I am glad that I was able to get that post up this week, unlike the last two weeks when I had barely time to get my reposts of “W” and “X” up.
You do so well at getting your entry in so quickly 😮
Blessings & Aloha!
Nothing to me more comforting than a big bowl of dumplings and a glass of white wine. It was how my husband wooed me! The place was dingy, there were rugs hanging from the walls, but the dumplings were to die for. From that moment, I knew I had a keeper. These look like keepers too….
Just beautiful!
Ok – So now Im inspired to make it this tomorrow. It will be great for the cool rainy weekend thats coming up! Thanks for the post.
