DUMPLING WOMAN




Last night I was treated to something special. Something amazing. Something plump, delicious and jam packed with flavor.

I was treated to some of Meena's homemade dumplings. It was amazing.

She did two different fillings and this is how they broke down:

*Option 1
- ground pork
- garlic
- green onion
- sesame oil
- soy
- oyster sauce
- shittake

*Option 2
- fake crab with a k
- garlic
- green onion
- sesame oil
- soy
- oyster sauce
- shittake

All wrapped up in a little wonton skin? Amazing.

In addition to the potsticker version, Meena also made some dumpling soup. She basically just heated up some chicken broth with green onion and threw in a couple of those delicious little dumplings.

Meena has decided this is something she will perfect over the coming months. Look for many dumpling posts coming soon.
