Asian Dumplings
Asian Dumplings: Mastering Gyoza, Spring Rolls, Samosas, and More | Andrea Nguyen
4 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Is there anything more satisfying than a well-made Asian dumpling? Plump pot stickers, spicy samosas, and tender b?o (stuffed buns) are enjoyed by the million every day in dim sum restaurants, streetside stands, and private homes worldwide. Wrapped, rolled, or filled; steamed, fried, or bakedAsian dumplings are also surprisingly easy to prepare, as Andrea Nguyen demonstrates in Asian Dumplings. Nguyen is a celebrated food writer and teacher with a unique ability to interpret authentic Asian cooking styles for a Western audience. Her crystal-clear recipes for more than 75 of Asias most popular savory and sweet parcels, pockets, packages, and pastries range from Lumpia (the addictive fried spring rolls from the Philippines) to Shanghai Soup Dumplings (delicate thin-skinned dumplings filled with hot broth and succulent pork) to Gulab Jamun (Indias rich, syrupy sweets). Organized according to type (wheat pastas, skins, buns, and pastries; translucent wheat and tapioca preparations; rice dumplings; legumes and tubers; sweet dumplings), Asian Dumplings encompasses Eastern, Southeastern, and Southern Asia, with recipes from China, Japan, Korea, Nepal, Tibet, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Throughout, Nguyen shares the best techniques for shaping, filling, cooking, and serving each kind of dumpling. And she makes it easy to incorporate dumplings into a contemporary lifestyle by giving a thorough introduction to essential equipment and ingredients and offering make-ahead and storage guidance, time-saving shortcuts that still yield delectable results, and tips on planning a dumpling dinner party. More than 40 line drawings illustrate the finer points of shaping many kinds of dumplings, including gy?za/pot stickers, wontons, and samosas. Dozens of mouth-watering color photographs round out Asian Dumplings, making it the most definitive, inviting, inspiring book of its kind. From the Hardcover edition.

We had a xiaolongbao (soup dumplings!) making class this morning and we made pork and mushroom dumplings! We were the only two in the class. It was so fun 🥟 and we ate all of these 😋 while chatting with CiCi, our wonderful teacher, about Shanghai, motherhood, education, academic pressures, chopsticks, marriage, independence, and travel. Most dumplings were steamed but some got fried up and topped with sesame seeds + green onions. YUM.
