Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s My Mom’s Beef and Vegetable Filling for Dumplings recipe from his The Wok cookbook.
The dumplings were, again, good! My son happily ate them even knowing they had spinach and carrots in them. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Last week I made the Japanese-Style Pork and Cabbage Gyoza Filling for Dumplings recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
The gyoza came out well. My son said they tasted just like what he gets at restaurants. 4 stars ★★★★☆
They released fine from the pan, which was my biggest worry. I think I should’ve let them cook longer for more browning and less gumminess. These had a crisp bottom and less crisp top.
Trying my hand at “dumpwings” with some leftover frozen dumplings. This is where starchy water is used to cook potstickers such that a thin crispy layer results.
For last week’s Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, I also made Kenji’s Homemade Dumpling Wrappers recipe from The Wok.
It worked fine. I’ll happily give it another try.
