We Tested Viral Dumpling 'Hacks' From The Internet

Hello & welcome to another video! Today, we’re gonna try some of the craziest dumpling hacks we could find from the Internet, via a new hack challenger: So Yummy. We put these hacks to the ultimate test to see if they could help us make any structurally sound dumplings, ideally of the fully-cooked variety. We tried 3 different dumpling folding hacks - a lotus dumpling hack, a rose dumpling hack, and a shell dumpling hack! What do you guys think? Would you eat any of these bad boys?

" I am just the vessel the dumpling passes through" Is a quote that I'm gonna start using for everything I eat

[corig]

I love Carly's slightly panicked "do you want me to show you?" when Tyler was trying to kneed the dough

[skyletta]

As someone who has made dumplings, allowing the dough to hydrate before working with it/rolling it out will help with the consistency! Dumpling dough should be slightly stretchy and has a consistency closer to clay. It may also help to add a little less water to the filling so that it holds its shape a little better :)

Safiya swooping in to implement all of my backseat-driving suggestion anxieties for hack 1 was extremely satisfying. I thank you

[yichen]

Actually, as a Taiwanese, many of these dumpling hacks are pretty legit, as in my grandma has taught me. The rose one though, not so sure because it seems like a lot of dough to very little filling ratio.

What I’ve noticed is Tyler’s channel has turned into what Safiyas used to be and I’m living for it

[Azakiinx]

Tyler refusing to pinch the centers together for the lotus dumpling had me SCREAMING at my screen 😂

[ktkat-kate]

Tyler struggling, and Saf just does it on the first try.
And Tyler isn't mad about it. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[Reflorated]

god i really miss this channel. it was such a break from saf's channel's energy (in a good way!) Like if Saf's channel was like really good pasta, this was that good wine and bread pairing. even though the pasta is amazing, you still need the wine and the bread breaks. it's like, you need the pasta so that the wine and bread taste good, but you need the wine and bread so the pasta tastes good. each element enhances the other!! This channel has this gentle, kind of casual vibe I LIVE for which is such a nice contrast from the structured, more 'productiony' vibe that Saf's channel has. sometime you want a deep dive into the fake scam ads that tiktok is casually allowing to run rampant on their platform, and sometime you just want to watch your favourite duo try to follow dumpling hacks that are needlessly complicated!

I hope you guys eventually return to this channel as well. Love you both loads!

I love how supportive she is up until she does it herself and she’s like I am amazing

[cintroverty]

Saf just humming A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes to cover the squelching is somehow such a mood 😂

[ellaanimine]

This video made me realize how fun it would be to have a dumpling folding party with friends

[Museofmemory]

So for that lotus one, they definitely used a cookie cutter to get such even circles without any tapering at the edges, which isn't what you usually want for dumplings, but works for that method.

[nowastedwords]

My favorite thing about these is I fully believe they'd still do this stuff even if they didn't have a YouTube channel.

*I am just a vessel that the dumpling is going through. 🤭*

[kogumasmommy]

These cooking videos are like when the student athlete and the theater kid are partnered up in home ec class

[jellyfishwitch]

13:17 that’s amazing!! Safiya figured the hacks behind the hacks lmaoo

[minisad]

the way Safiya laughs after Tyler says almost anything at all is so cute!! please they're such goals I love them!!

Guys I appreciate you showing us not to be afraid to mess up in the kitchen. It's every novice's experience but we usually don't see it on video. From what I've seen the dumplings had more dough and not enough meat is because they're not rolled out thin enough. The way to fit more meat is use the same amount of dough but roll it out thinner, like at least 3 times thinner than what you did in the video, especially at the edges or parts of it that will be pressed together or bunched up. Don't be afraid they will tear while steaming; they really won't unless the dough is torn before it goes in the steamer. The meat won't increase in volume, in fact it will shrink when you cook it.

You both work so hard to give us such exceptional content with all of the channels. I know so many appreciate it. Happy to see Ty get sponsored. You’re both lovely people. I recently have been putting your live videos on while I sleep since I struggle with insomnia and your channels help a lot with that.
