Boiling

My dad has been making homemade dumplings for as long as I can remember. As a family, everyone has a dumpling job, and I’ve always been relegated to putting water on the wrappers or putting stuffing on the wrappers...I never had the wrapping job. I’ve always been intimidated by the whole folding aspect, but I recently figured out that you really don’t need to do any fancy fold, you can just put water on the wrapper and just press them together! What a concept. <br /> <br />My dad also confirmed that our local Korean store sells really good wrappers. We like to buy the Shanghai-style round gyoza wrappers. They are white and slightly thicker than wonton wrappers, which are usually yellow. These Shanghai-style wrappers are now ubiquitous in most Asian grocery stores. <br /> <br />The best part of Dad’s dumplings is the hot sauce. My dad has been making this hot sauce since I can remember, and it wows anyone who comes into contact with it. My dumpling stuffing is totally different from my dad’s, basically because it is what was available in my fridge today!
