Chinese Dumpling Cooking Adventure

The other night I went to my friend Yan's house where we made Chinese dumplings and had heaps to talk and laugh about. It was a great night. One of my favourite things to do is to spend time cooking with friends and discovering new recipes. I have made mandu before with glass noodles, pork, cabbage and other assorted vegetables. This was quite similar, we just wrapped it differently. This time though, I had a lot of difficulty getting the pastry right and ended up with many split dumplings that were ok to put in the juices afterwards to make a soup. Yummy. Here are our efforts:)

The final product... yum!
