To make dumplings, place a tablespoon of filling in the center of a won ton wrapper; wet edge of wrapper with water and bring up sides, pleating wrapper as you go around to create a round dumpling with an opening at the top. Place dumpling on a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining filling and won ton wrappers. Dumplings can be frozen at this stage for up to 3 weeks.

For the soy dipping sauce, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoon TABASCO^® SWEET & Spicy Sauce, and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar in a small bowl and set aside until ready to serve.

To steam dumplings, place a steamer rack in a large pot with 1/2 inch of water in it, or set up a bamboo steamer in a large frying pan. Line the steamer rack with lettuce leaves, or lightly oil bamboo trays with sesame oil, and bring water to a boil. Arrange dumplings side by side, but not touching, on rack. Cover and steam 8 minutes. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
