    I just wanted to say thanks! I've been following your blog for a year now and I have to say you've really allowed me to push my home cooking boundaries with your Asian recipes. I even finally bought a kitchen scale so that I didn't have to make close guesses for your recipes.

    This is one of my favorite chinese takout dishes. I can't wait to make this at home!

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
