Trim the edges to eliminate the square corners. Dust the finished dumplings with a light coati ng of cornstarch to prevent sticking before cooking. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
To cook the finished dumplings, bring water to a boil in a large skillet in which a steamer basket may be nestled. When the water is boiling, insert the basket with the dumplings and steam for 6 minu tes or until fully cooked. The dough will change color and texture when cooked. Serve with sweet mustard dip.
