So glad I found this site. Made everything from scratch. My son (a professional chef) says I can cook these dumpling anytime. We both agree, the spicy dipping sauce is fantastic. Bang from the vinegar, then the garlic and ginger float in and finally the short lived heat.

I love all of your recipes they are easy and the results go way beyond expectations. I have a challenge though, is there away to make dumpling wrappers that are gluten free? My daughter has Celiac and I feel so guilty eating dumplings in front of her. Any thoughts? Have you ever tried using one of the gluten free 1:1 brands of GF Flour? I’m open to any possibilities!

Maggie Zhu, you’re a photographer, journalist AND a chef? If that’s true you’re a really impressive person and I love this recipe/article. I can’t wait to see more of these from you. This was my first one. – Thank you – Mike

In reply to hibah. Yes, that totally works! You might need to adjust cooking time slightly depending on the size of the wrapper you get, but yeah the ingredients will cook through.

Brilliant recipe and instructions. I made pork dumplings for the very first time and as i couldn’t find ready made wrappers, i ventured into doing the dough from scratch. Details, comments and video made it very straight forward and I got a big thumbs up from my family who enjoyed them for our NY eve dinner!
I will have to practice the crimping but I enjoyed the process so much that I will definitely do it again.
Thank you so much, I wish you a Happy New Year and look forward ro trying your other recipes

In reply to Bin.

If you use store-bought dumpling wrappers (any brand), I wouldn’t boil the dumplings because they will fall apart.
You can use the pan fried method or steamed method instead: http://omnivorescookbook.com/steamed-dumplings/

I love dumplings, but I don’t have time to make dumpling skin from scratch. Do you have a brand that you recommend to buy for boiled dumplings?

Thank you!!
p.s. love your recipes and your style!

This is an amazing recipe!!! I made the steamed dumpling dough and pork/cabbage filling for the first time. The taste is beyond amazing!!!

I loved this dough, it was extremely forgiving to work with. Thank you SO much for sharing!!!!!

I had extra dough left over (I ended up making two batches of dough). Would it be ok to freeze the dough & use it at a later date, or would it not be good to work with later?
