Tuesday, January 15th

Woo hoo! Look at me...posting same day!! Mackenzie is at school late today helping with the Grade 8 student & parent open house so Paul introduced me to Chinese dumplings.
These are from the United Food Mart in town. The large dumplings are chicken & vegetable. The little ones are pork/celery and pork/napa (a type of cabbage). We dipped them in Chinkiang vinegar which sort of tasted like a cross between malt vinegar and worcestershire sauce.
The best part is that I liked them! They were delicious! It's well known that I'm not very adventurous with new foods so this was great!

Looks delicious! Do you just buy the dumplings at the grocery store? And how do you cook them? Fry them? Boil them?

Hi Jenn! Most grocery stores sell "Chinese" dumplings nowadays. A lot of the stores even have an Asian cuisine section! There are all different brands, sizes, etc. They can be boiled, steamed, pan-fried, deep-fried (to make then crispy) or even put in soup. We pan fried ours. We dipped them in that special vinegar and/or soy sauce and ate them with chopsticks, of course!
