This is.. Surprisingly authentic? Wow I never thought I'll say that. Well done Tasty. :)

I mean you're pretty much free to put whatever in a dumpling but just a few things that I thought might've been not "authentic" (I mean heck, cuisines evolve and change and what I point out is just how my family does it. Please feel free to correct)
-Garlic is usually not found in Chinese dumplings (But I've heard that they're common in Japanese Gyozas)
- I have never eaten or seen red cabbage or even just cabbages in dumplings (though Chinese cabbages are common place in dumplings (yes there is a difference between cabbage and Chinese cabbage))
- You don't need water since you made the dough yourself and it should stick together fine, but, if you used store bought ones definitely use water
- The skin should be rolled out in a different way, you take the skin by one side and you spin it while rolling out the sides. This makes the dumpling skin thin on the outside and thick on the inside because the inside has to carry the meat so it should be thick and the skin out side has no flavour so it should be rolled out really thin. The best dumplings should be plump from all the meat inside with thin skin.

I really really love to eat dumplings so I hope that people can understand more about it and because I'm Chinese, I'm just sharing the common Chinese way of making dumplings. This is not gyozas or Koran dumplings (Sorry don't know what those are called) so if you are Japanese or Korean the things above only applies to Chinese dumplings.

A quick tip for first time makers: Be sure to squeeze out any air pockets between the filling and the inside of the wrapper or it won't cook properly and probably fill up with water inside.

If you're going to make this, it's essential that you close the lid on the pan immediantly after you add the water.

I just made these and they're absolutely delicious! Adding this to our favorites list. :)

[katl]

when you roll your own dumpling wrappers, make the center a little thicker :) it helps prevent the dumpling from breaking and leaking all the juices out!

Dumplings are very popular in Nepal (we call it momo) and for a moment, I forgot other cultures also eat dumplings so when they put in the mushrooms I nearly threw my phone away 😂

[nroy]

I just made these for the first time for my boyfriend and his family and they really like it. Thanks tasty you guys have the easiest to follow recipes online 🤗

[emmaw]

Guys, just put whatever you want in your dumplings! I personally don't put red cabbage in mine but I add century eggs in mine. Just make whatever that makes you happy! Food is love yo!

[Marlineism]

Ah, finally, something made without a ton of cheese, chicken broth and deep frying. Looks great, definitely gonna try making this.

Dumplings hack! I found out recently that to get the best thin dumpling dough, just run it through a pasta machine! It makes the same thin sheets that you can cut circles out of for delicious dumplings!

[teeng]

This reminds me of that old game "Cooking Mama." I remember making these and for whatever reason especially the water in it to close part haha

[deepaksah]

*Who else watches these but never makes them*

[dipayandey]

It's traditionally called Momo back here in South Asia. Especially in Nepal, Tibet and India
