Looks delicious! I wonder if you could substitute a poultry for those who don't like pork?
I don't see why not - after all was said and done, I was the only one who liked them because the pork gave it such a... unique flavor, no one else liked them LOL I'm the only one who eats the dumplings in chinese restaurants though, and that's exactly what these tasted like - so ymmv :)
