Chinese Dumplings

 

These are ingredients to make 240 dumplings, which would be plenty for eight people (30 dumplings each). So you can adjust accordingly. President Katie has had a go scaling down the ingredients to make 30 dumplings below.

 

The recipe includes minced pork, but for those who don’t eat meat, you can substitute the pork for egg. If you're following a vegan diet, then you can substitute the pork for Chinese cabbage and chives with rapeseed. Or, mushroom and Chinese glass noodles with rapeseed.

  • 1 chopping board + Chinese chopping knife切菜板
