haha

nah, i love to cook. got some new vegetarian / vegan cookbooks so i wanted to try something new

[.brian.]

i must admit, they look pretty good. how about a DIY? i might want to give these a shot. actually, i guess all i really need to know is what the dumpling skin things are called and where to find them.

sure, i don't measure anything though, i just eyeball stuff and adjust based off of taste

the filling;

about 2 cups shredded cabbage
half cup diced carrot
quarter cup scallion and celery, both sliced thin
1 glove garlic
about 2 teaspoon ginger root

saute until cabage is reduced, add soy sauce and chili paste / spices to taste ( i used some **** sauce )

set aside to cool until you can handle it


crack a couple eggs and seperate the whites, put about a teaspoon of filling in won ton wrappers and use egg white as glue to seal the edges

boil the wontons about a dozen at a time for aprox 3 minutes, drain them ( you can stack them up they dont stick together too bad )

after you boil them all heat up your pan and spray with cooking spray or sesame oil ( use non stick, i always say egg is the only thing that should touch non stick but this is exception )

fry about 3 minutes on each side and you're done



the sauce, i just boiled soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, and lemon juice to my personal taste

makes about 48 dumpling

nah they SMASHED on those dumplings

[zerioustt]

are they for healthy eating reasons? or do you just not eat meat?

if for health reasons frying them is defeating the purpose.

Nice wok, dumplings look slammin' too.

[grimm]

I've been looking into making some dumplings or even some pocket pies in the near future, but i'm intimidated by the wonton/crust/pastry/pasta part of it. do you just buy them? or did you make them?

[Scapegoat]

damn man... throw some chicken in there and lets have a party

You can buy them at the grocery store. They have egg roll wrappers, wonton wrappers and the like. I think Naysoya makes most of them, they have them between the deli and produce normally, fridge case, by the tofu, odd juices, etc, etc..
