I used a different dumpling dough, but both the dumpling and sauce recipes were DELICIOUS! My husband is completely addicted to chinese take-out dumplings, and he was floored that the filling and sauce was exactly like the steamed dumplings we always get for him. It was so gratifying making them for him at home. He said we'll never have to get Chinese take-out again! -
Good. While these had a nice flavor, they were very problematic. I found the dough to be very difficult to work with, despite having made similar items before. I tried using the 1 Tbsp filling per dumpling as directed, but found the dough too thin(it kept tearing)and had to cut the filling amount down to 1 tsp per - this worked out much better & without tearing. I ended up with over half of the raw meat mixture still unused and about 20 dumplings. The cook time was very precise -they were done in 6 minutes exactly. The dipping sauce was very strongly flavored of soy sauce - next time I would increase the oil a bit and add some sugar, and perhaps a splash of rice wine vinegar to help cut the saltiness of the soy sauce. We did enjoy this recipe, just not as much as expected. I'm very sorry-from your description, it sounds like you have had much better luck with these and hopefully others will as well. -
I tried this recipe and it was the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth! -
Family loves them! -
Very good, I found you need to use less water than called for,adding water slowly while stirring and stopping once dough forms.I used about 2 cups of shreded cabbage and although this didn't affect the taste of the final product it meant that I needed more dough. The dough is quite stretchy and does tear but can be patched. I actually made mostly a half moon shape.I added a pinch of sugar to the dipping sauce.
