Vegetable Gyoza (pot sticker) with Grilled Green Beans and Apulian Tarallini with Fennel

I made a simple dinner tonight, starting with frozen prepared "pot stickers" - Chinese (jiaozi) or Japanese (gyōza) dumplings. They need to simply be put down into a pan with a little oil to brown the bottom for about two minutes, then are steamed. I served these with soy sauce but found, alas, that I didn't much care for them.

I also made green beans in the style we saw last year in Tuscany, simply grilling them briefly in a little olive oil, then serving with fresh lime (or lemon) juice and salt. I picked up a new product a few days ago, and also served it - a kind of Italian pretzel, Tarallini with fennel seeds. Tarallini, rounded bread sticks from the southern part of Italy including Apulia in the southeast, are delicious and would be great as a snack by themselves.
