So glad to hear you enjoyed (and that they won over your son, too!)

Absolutely delicious. It was my first time making dumplings. I've got lots of time because we're in lockdown so I thought I'd try something new. I did use far more wrappers about 40-50, but my cabbage was about 180grams. I only had red cabbage on hand but it didn't seem to affect the end result. My son who doesn't like vegetables was apprenensive when he saw the mixture, exclaiming "Where's the meat?" Once cooked, he then managed to devour a plateful and asked for more.

Excellent advice! Chopped shrimp (I used re-hydrated dried shrimp) will definitelty boost the flavour as will the fish sauce. Most chinese versions include at least the shimp.

Thanks for your comment, and I certainly like the flavor fish sauce can add to dishes and can see it working. It just wasn't in what I learned in Taiwan, but I am sure there are many variations. Maybe I'll give it a try next time!

I'm sure that you are making dumplings all the time and your kitchen with such a tasty recipe - if you are dubious about taking the leap with fish sauce, do as I did and halve the recipe so you can experiment a bit. My final recipe development for most fillings involves making the filling and then simply pan-frying a spoonful so I can taste it quickly and safely and then it just before filling my dumplings or ravioli.

That sounds so wonderful to have homemade dumplings at potluck functions. I hope these might live up to those standards!

Thanks, Kaila, tat's very kind, and happy FF to you too!

Thanks Julianna, they are so good. Happy FF!

Thanks Hilda, it had been a while for me too but I must do more often, they are so tasty.

Thanks, Julie, that's high praise. One nice thing making them at home is you can adjust seasoning to taste and fill them nice and full - no skimping!

I hope he likes them, we certainly did!

She must have had a great experience and so nice she was able to share things like that with you. I hope you'll like these ones as well.

Chinese breakfast in Panama sounds wonderful. I love dim sum as well and these are a great reminder to have more often.

They're definitely worth trying, KC, it's quite satisfying making them, plus you get to make sure they have lots of filling in them! Also I am sure these have a lot more flavor and less salt than many you would get in restaurants.

I hope you do try, Michelle, they are really delicious with tons of flavor. Plus being homemade you get to make sure they have lots of filling in them 🙂

I hope you give it a try Denise, they are really delicious! And great that you managed to stock up on lots of sauces etc - that's always fun.

Thank you Christie - and particularly from someone who has made a lot 🙂
