Miso Pesto Dumplings

thevegansara Miso Pesto Potstickers I found VEGAN wonton wrappers for the first time at my local @wholefoods , bought a package & celebrated with my fam by making these tasty dumplings. The filling is inspired by a flavor combination I saw in @bonappetitmag for miso pesto ramen & I adapted it.
