I do not know anything about bashing an octopus. Not my thing. If I have to kill it I will not deal with it at all.

Using some fat content in the dumpling meat is a good idea. When I have done them on the fly I use ground pork, fresh grated ginger root, minced garlic, scallions, a little soy, a little rice vinegar. Not bad but it needs work.

Bugs are soooo goood - the meat is kind of like lobster.

The octopus is already dead! I think you need to bash it to tenderise it because the meat is very tough. Nonetheless, it looked like a lot of work and I don't think I'll give that one a go.

Yep - last night I had chicken mince, ginger, garlic, scallions, lemongrass, a little rice wine, chinese five spice, and some maggi seasoning. Oh, and a bit of carrot - just because my food processor needed a bit more volume to get going. Everything was getting stuck up the sides and not moving. I hate it when that happens!

Edited to add: ok, really really going to get ready for work now!
