We were supposed to host an early Chinese New Year today but the huge snow storm put a stop to that. Since we had all the ingredients, we decided to practice making dumplings. We have Andrea Nguyen’s new book Asian Dumplings and she offers really practical tips and if you go to that link, she has videos to teach you steps like rolling out dumpling wrappers.
We prepared the pork and napa cabbage dumpling recipe (they are simmered for about 8 minutes) and we made the entire recipe but only put together a quarter of the dumplings. We’ll tackle the rest tomorrow. I predict we’ll eat some and freeze some for later (or we’ll just eat until we burst).
The whole process was surprisingly easy. I need to get better at shaping the dumplings, but that comes with practice.
Here’s an action shot of the better-half dunking a dumpling into sauce before hoovering it down in the time it took me to take the shot and put the camera down:
Because this killed me with the cute on Friday, I’m sharing it with you today:
