chinese-style-dumplings

I don't care who you are or where you come from. Dumplings are life! They take on different identities as one of the most versatile foods possible. And, multicultural as well! No matter what country you look up or visit, they have a version of dumplings available. This is also another one of those "like my Mother used to make" type foods. Whether on its own or as a side dish, dumplings just make everything amazing! In Chinese New Year, the dumpling symbolizes fortune and prosperity in the new year. They closely resemble little money bags with the traditional fold. And with dumplings, there are multiple folding techniques to learn, and you can have so much fun making these. It is a very therapeutic process of making dumplings! Dumplings have multiple filling options and are the most versatile food to make. One of the important elements of dumpling-making is not just folding/crimping techniques but that filling is a key element to master. Having the right balance of ingredients, including sustaining moisture and creating that wonderful mouthfeel is what makes a difference. The how-to video can be found on my YouTube channel.
