New Year Dumplings


I was going to make a galette des rois today but then got lazy. I did the second best thing then, dumpling. We Chinese eat dumplings in the New Year, better late then no at all. The wrappers are simply flour and water, the filling pork, Chinese chive, Chinese cabbage, ginger, a pinch of sugar and a splash of soy sauce. They are first browned in a hot pan before water is added to a third way up the dumplings. Cooked covered on medium heat until the water completely evaporated and the bottom of the dumplings are crispy.
