Dumplings with Crispy Wings | Kenji's Cooking Show

These are called hanetsuki gyoza in Japanese, which means "dumplings with wings." I call them dumpwings. The process is super simple and works with any dumplings, whether homemade or store-bought, frozen or fresh, and it adds a mountain... er... a flat plane of texture.

And there’s me thinking that the crispy wings were in the dumplings. Blimey...

For whatever reason this guy just has a soothing effect on anyone that watches

Imagine being out for a walk in the neighborhood and you look over to see a man standing at the window with a camera strapped to his head happily enjoying a plate of dumplings

Love that you name dropped Sohla. I know many food youtubers do, but Sohla name dropped you yesterday over on Food52 in a chicken wing video. Love seeing all the interconnectivity between all the awesome cooks and chefs on YouTube.

Gosh Kenji, I'm loving what I'm seeing of the new kitchen. My wife is in the military so I get to go to culinary school in France and I'm excited but I'm almost more excited for when she gets out and I can start getting a kitchen together that we won't have to move away from every three years. I'm taking mental notes.

"You started eating without me, again!!?..."
"Honey...it was for the video..." 😬

[karim.finalblow]

I love how we're basically rats sitting on his head 😂

[spuriousgeorg]

"You can do this with any kind of dumpling"

*reaches for perogis*

[chasm]

I like to add a little bit of sesame oil after the wings start to form to give them a bit of extra nutty flavor

For me, this is the single best food video of the year so far. Bringing crispiness to frozen dumplings brings me such joy. Thanks, Kenji.

Been a while since I was able to watch a video since I'm working in two kitchens so I hadn't seen your new setup. It looks great, my man! Love how bright it is with all that sunlight and the white cabinets and counters. Will have to try this recipe at some point. Always enjoy your videos. Happy for you, kenji!

My fiance: what's the dinner plan?
Me: don't know yet, waiting to see what Kenji uploaded today.

I sometimes wonder if Kenji’s old neighbour misses watching him eat food next to his open back door

[brandonwilson]

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar, and I applaud that. J. Kenji Lopez alt keep up the fundraising it really makes the world a better place, and proliferation of knowledge for us that are more fortunate hopefully inspires people to do the same.

Made these tonight and they came out perfectly -- love the crispy texture this adds!

Love the stuffed dinosaur at 1:03!

I’ve been on a dumpling kick since December—starting with wontons, potstickers, momos, homemade whole wheat flour wrappers, etc.

I agree with Kenji. I tried pan frying/steamiing in a cast iron pan and it was a disaster. Use a non-stick pan.

I just bought a frozen bag of those yesterday for the first time after watching Ethan's video. And who is better to watch preparing them than kenji. Thank you brothet for your amazing content and thank you for pointing me to chienes cooking demystefied channel. As a middle eastern I used to think of chinese cooking like something too exotic for my taste but lately I have been loving it !

[danielwerger]

Good one Kenji, thank you from Canada...!
