Today was the day.
The day that Macy and I took the plunge and made
our own homemade dumplings.

Chop. Chop. Chop.
And chop some more.
And chop some more.
Carefully putting together these delicate delicacies.
Dumpling hot tub.
Par-tay.
And the sauce.
Oh, the sauce.
The best part.
For mine it wasa lovely concoction of two different Chinese vinegars,
soy sauce, and hot chili garlic paste.
Oh so yummy.
And don't you just adore my little sauce cups?
I bought them in Seattle in China Town.
I love them soooo much!
Sorry for no more pics but that's where the photos ended.
The rest is deliciousness history.

Looks yummy. REAL Chinese food :) Did the boys love it?
Caresse is behind me saying "Yum, that looks delicious....wow, wish we were there!!"
How were they?
Oh, yum! Dumplings are my favorite! I've never been brave enough to try making them, but you are inspiring me!
Ohhhhh....jiao zi are my FAVORITE!! I am way too lazy to make them myself, tho. :) My Chinese friends came over and made them at my house one time and asked if I wanted to learn. I said no. haha But I provided moral support!! :) BTW, in China you can buy them pre-made in the frozen food section. Maybe they have them in Chinatown or Asian markets??
Looks like fun!! I've never made them muself...maybe Macy can teach us how someday....=)
Dumplings! YEAH! Lucy Lu's favorite! The only ones we have are sadly, from the Hong Kong Buffet. Would love a recipe!
I just love it when you post pictures of your yummy creations! They always look so delicious!
Hugs,
Janet and gang
Wishin we were neighbors!
I need to do this too. Sarah has seen the dumplings and Whole Foods and says she had them in China.
Looks like fun!
Thanks, Lori, now I'm hungry! haha. I miss those spicy noodles she made when I came over. :( They were so good!! When I come back, I want to come over again and have another Chinese night :D
mmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm! Looks deeeelicious!
Love the sauce cup!!!! I love little dishes like that!!!
awwwww......looks so delicious! I picked the similar soruce dishes in a Japanese gift shop. but I still have not figured out how to make dumpling sources even I have pretty source dishes! :(
Just got back from China last week where we worked in an orphanage (and saw Bill and Lynsay!). One of my favorite times was when the nannies taught us how to make dumplings. They were amazingly fast at rolling and folding them, but patient in teaching us, with minimal laughing at us:) Some of the children helped with it too, which made it all the more delicious to eat! I bet it was a wonderful bonding time with Macy! Check out http://crebbinfamily.blogspot.com/2010/07/last-day-at-orphanage.html
