SFGATE dumpling columnist's favorite dumpling highlights from last year
"Har gow - large size with almost all pure shrimp filling at $3.25 for three; also has giant, gingery potstickers"
"Har gow - smaller than Chase Luck's but with plump and succulent majority-shrimp filling; crystal dough expertly flattened and pleated by hand"
"Wontons two ways - spicy shrimp and pork wontons in house-made chili oil with garlic and scallions; deep-fried wontons with thin dough wrappers; also try signature XO sauce pan-fried turnip cake"
"Mission chicken potstickers with hand-ground chicken, sweet corn and mozzarella with crispy frico on bottom; also excellent xiao long bao"
"Turkey momos - absorb spices well and are a good anytime dumpling; pair with tangy roasted tomato and cilantro sauce; order combo Khana plate to sample Gurkha chicken and kwati"
"Wontons - Chef Fung grinds dried flounder fillets and white sesame seeds in-house for the pork-and-shrimp filling; hearty oblong wontons big enough that three or four make a satisfying meal"
"Ukrainian mushroom borshch z vushkamy - ear-shaped dumplings with dried porcini and fresh cremini mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions, beet juice broth and sour cream; spoon-size dumplings that are simultaneously satisfying yet light"
