Dumplings with pork filling |
I
had been bookmarked this recipe for quite sometimes. At last I manage to make
these dumplings as our lunch. I reduced the dough portion into half. I hardly
shape into 10g each like Sonia and end ups 15g each. As a result, I try to wrap
as much as filling that I can handle. These dumplings skins are chewy and not
like ordinary dumplings that we ate in the restaurant. Overall we like it!

Wrap in spoonful of filling, seal tight and shape into dumpling. Repeat the
same for the rest of the dough.

ReplyDeleteI had it yesterday at Fongji but when I look at your dumplings, I want to eat it again..
ReplyDeleteIt looks difficult to wrap... :)
ReplyDeletenever made dumplings before but like eating them, i normally prefer veggies filling than meat.
