I’m glad to hear you liked the recipe, and thanks for leaving a positive review! For dumplings made from scratch, you should be eating them out of the pot when they are the most fresh 🙂 My family back in China always eat it like that.
For veggie heavy dumpling fillings, I think these recipes are fun:

I just finished making these; it was easy and simple to follow. I did both the boil and potsticker with same dough. They were delicious so much that I didn’t even get to take pics my family ate them literally out of the pot. I have dietary restrictions and digestion issues so I can’t eat alot of food; I have been told to just go vegan but hard with kids (13 & 4 yrs) so I used cabbage, carrot, egg and pokchoy mix with almond butter for the oil and the filling was just right too. Thank you, I have one more food in my corner now. 🙂

Good Evening Maggie, please the plant base cookbook is the only cookbook you have. I am looking for a cookbook with meat of all the beautiful recipe you have. Thank you

I’m afraid I don’t have much experience with gluten free flour. I think you might find more information on other gluten-free website.
I also think if you’re using a gluten free flour, the dumplings should be steamed or pan fried instead of boiled, so they won’t fall apart during cooking.

I’m desperate to try making and eating these delicious looking dumplings, however I have a gluten intolerance, do you know if it’s possible to make them with gluten free flour and if so which one would you recommend please?

Because of the pandemic, my brother’s partner hasn’t been able to see her family in central China for the past two years. She was missing the tradition of making dumplings with her family, so I followed your recipe to make it happen at ours! The dough turned out great and though the dumplings were not quite Instagram-worthy, they held together thanks to these thorough instructions and were tons of fun to make, involving my husband, brother and his partner, my mom, and my grandma. It was so much fun that I think we’ll make it a tradition in our (southern Chinese) family too. So gratifying to be able to learn something new and to make memories while doing it. Thanks so much Maggie!

In reply to Fatima. The key is to make the dough fresh and pliable enough so the sealing stick together. You definitely need to cover the dough and dumplings all the time to prevent the dough from drying out, which also affect the cooking. As long as the dough is made fresh (and not the dumpling wrappers you purchase), it should hold up in the water. Happy Lunar New Year!

Hi Maggie! Thanks for explaining so well. When I make dumplings, I always add an egg cause I’m scared the flour and water ones will fall apart when dipped in for boiling. I’m pakistani and my family loves dumplings, will try this recipe, for sure an diet you know. Happy New year :)!!!!
