r/Dumplings

Spent my afternoon wrapping these. Since traditional dumplings usually have pork, I just wanted to share that making a halal version at home is super easy and honestly just as delicious. Tastes so much better than store-bought!

Obsessed with making a nice crunchy crust with my frozen dumplings. These are szechwan style spicy pork dumplings, my current fav🌶🥟

Two types : chive & pork, and cabbage & pork. I made a bunch. How many could you put away?

Sorry for the blurry pic,yeah steam was wild, lol.

Hi everyone — long-time lurker, and someone who thinks about dumplings more than is probably healthy.

I'm writing a cookbook called Everyone Has a Dumpling. The premise is one I think this sub will recognize instantly: almost every culture on earth, with no contact between them, independently landed on the same idea — dough, something good, heat. It's as much a world atlas and a history as a recipe book, and I'm trying to get the cooking dead-accurate while keeping the writing actually fun to read.

This is one sample chapter, "The Bite" — the East Asian wrapped dumplings built for the perfect mouthful: jiaozi, gyoza, mandu, wonton, xiaolongbao, and the dim-sum three (har gow, siu mai, fun gor). Each gets a headnote, a full recipe, and a little "key decisions" table where I lay out what cooks actually argue about — dough water temperature, how to trap the soup inside an XLB, how hard to wring the cabbage — and where I landed and why. There's also a folding guide, because the fold is the whole craft.

I'd really value your feedback, the blunt kind especially:

• Would you cook from these? Anything fussy, wrong, or missing?
• The writing — does it make you want to keep reading, or is it too much?
• The folds — accurate? Anything that'd make a real pleater wince?

A few honest things: it's a draft, the illustrations are rough (please ignore the typos in the art — they're on the fix list), and I'm not selling anything — no preorder, no link, no email list. I just want it to be good, and you're the people who'd know.

Thanks for reading. 🥟

Made this one-pan dumpling dinner tonight and it turned out way better than I expected. Crispy dumplings, a flavorful sauce, and barely any cleanup afterward. Definitely one of those meals I'll keep making when I don't feel like spending an hour in the kitchen.

If anyone wants the full recipe, I wrote everything up here:

If you end up trying it, I'd love to know what fillings or toppings you use. I'm always looking for new ideas.

Natural vegetable dyed dumplings full of nutrition! Delicious juicy filling, cute colorful look that all kids adore. Say goodbye to picky eating, healthy homemade meals for little ones.

I was in china town and these were ✨Delicious!✨

They're ready for a dip 🌶️
