Preparation:

Put all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until more or less smooth. Put all ingredients in a blender, and blend, scraping down as needed to form a fine paste. Spoon into a bowl. Fill Round dumpling wrappers by spooning a tsp. or so of filling into the center of the round wrapper. Wet the edge, and fold in half to form a crescent, pressing the edges together with a wet finger. Set aside on a plate. To cook the dumplings, bring a large quantity of water to a boil. When the water is boiling furiously, add the dumplings and 1/2 cup of cold water. Let cook for a few seconds after the dumplings rise to the surface. Serve dumplings on a platter garnished with 1 Tbsp. chopped Coriander and the sauce on the side.
