Bamboo Baskets

After you steam or boil your fabulous frozen dumplings, you need a way to serve them. You can just pile them on a plate or in a bowl, or you can add a little extra Asian flavor by picking up a couple traditional bamboo steamers. For around $8, you can scatter them around the table or stack them and keep enough food on the table to last the whole night.

To effectively use the steamers, you have to keep the food from sticking to them. You can line them with wax paper or foil or go an easier, more traditional rout by lining them with cabbage leaves. Just steam or boil the leaves for a few seconds to soften them up and you've got the perfect way to dress up the baskets and make them functional (and if you run out of food, your guests can eat them).
