Over the past month I've become slightly obsessed with dumplings. I've always loved them, and if put in front of me, I would never leave one to not join the rest of his friends, but now I think I've taken it to another level. Last week I went to our new local Asian Supermarket and got all the fixin's for several types of dumplings. Rice flour, wheat starch, tapioca starch, shaoxing wine, ground pork, shrimp and the list goes on.... but before I got my hands dirty I had to do some research first!
It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon for Mother's Dumplings!
We ordered the kimchi to start which was fresh and had a slight sweetness to it which was a nice change to other japanese style kimchi's we were used to.
Then on to some boiled pork and dill dumplings which were loaded with dill! These were light and tasty, everything you would ever want in a dumpling.
Finally we had a couple of beef buns and an order of steamed shrimp, egg and chive dumplings. Everything we ordered gave me the inspiration I needed to start my own dumpling factory at home.
Stay tuned for my homemade attempts...
