Dumplings are super easy to make and so good! Steamed are much better than deep fried, you can taste the filling so much more without the oil flavor killing everything. Sometimes to get a bit of the crisp from frying I'll panfry mine after steaming.


I've also done baked before, which is similar to deep frying but the texture always seems a little chewy, so I usually just steam.


I make my dumplings with ginger, garlic, nappa cabbage (or leeks for a different flavor), ground meat, green onions, a bit of soy and salt and pepper. Maybe some chili sauce if I want them with a zing.

You can do any combination though... pork and leeks is good, chicken with mushrooms... anything!!
