I really like the dumplings I order from a local Chinese restaurant I really like the shrimp and chives, the shrimp and garlic, and the shrimp and spinach. I also like the shark dumplings. I've tried a bunch of meat dumplings such as pork, beef, and even chicken but didn't care for any.
I'm thinking of making my own. I bought a steamer from the ethnic store but haven't made dumplings before. Anyone have any success making their own?
I've been served a number of different sauces. I recall this korean place giving me a plum sauce for their dumplings. I think bean paste is common for sauces or just soy.
Pot sticker? I bought a 3 or 4 tier bamboo steamer that sits ontop of a pot with boiling water to steam the dumplings or whatever it is you decide to steam. I also have a huge metal steamer I bought ages ago I'd use to steam veggies but it's in storage quite far away. It's also cheaply made and started making my food taste like metal, so I don't think it's safe to use.
I had no idea. I just refer to all that stuff as dumplings or dimsum. Come to think of it I do recall Har Gar being the open style shrimp dumpling. I asked, is this a dumpling? Because it was listed under dimsum and the lady was like no not really and I'm like what the hell is it then? What she explained was basically what I'd consider a dumpling.
