It really doesn’t matter which part of the world you’re from, dumplings are a universally recognised dish that’s enjoyed by millions! Crunchy at the bottom and juicy and meaty on the inside. Every 👏🏼 bite 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 to 👏🏼 die 👏🏼 for 👏🏼 . It’s almost a sin to just have one ... 🙊
These dumplings are a simple recipe and you can be creative with the filling. A famous combination is pork and cabbage, pork prawns and sweetcorn or for a vegetarian option, try a sautéed variety of mushrooms - equally mouth-watering. We have to admit though, the pleating took us a while to get our heads wrapped around but once you get one right, that’s half the battle! 💪🏼 We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we enjoyed making it!
