Simple Chinese dumplings - elegant parcels of translucent Chinese pastry wrapped around meat, fish or vegetarian fillings - are easier than you think to make at home. And they are relatively wallet-friendly.
True, preparation is definitely helped with a few 'sous chef' helpers but then, making dumplings are a great excuse for a party. Organise a ‘line’; one person measures out the dough, one adds filling, one pleats the casing, one watches over the cooking. Much fun will be had by all and the eating will be all the better knowing so many people have contributed to the result.
Dumplings come in many forms. One on offer here is classic, one modern, one created by the Blogger with western tastes in mind. With 67goingon50 modifications, all are healthier than most.
Try glossy pillowy Triple Duty steamed dumplings, crispy low-fat oven-baked vegan rice paper parcels or an adventurous pastry/gluten-free vegetarian dumpling. Plus one or all stunning sauces. Though designed for western tastes they have authentic Asian flavours.
