Wrappers Delight: A Dumplings Recipe from Miracle

The Carmel restaurant puts an inventive spin on a classic Asian dish.
Former fishers eatery E. Miracle underwent a lot more than a name change last year when the Hwang family moved the Korean spot to a chic dining room in Carmel. The restaurant, now known simply as Miracle, also welcomed a new menu full of modern takes on traditional Asian recipes, like these luscious dumplings infused with earthy flavors.
