Dumplings

To kick-off Asian-themed dinner week, I made dumplings. They were delicious and as Jeff complimented, "They are just like Mom's!"

Here are some close-up pictures and instructions on how to make them.

1. Mix ground pork with diced shitake mushrooms and napa cabbage. Flavour with soya sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Fold dumplings with store-bought wraps (very convenient!) so that they resemble the following:

2. Boil dumplings for 3-4 minutes. Dumplings will float when they are ready!

3. If desired, pan fry boiled dumplings until light brown with olive oil over medium heat.

4. Enjoy the yummmminess!
