Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Dumplings | Kendall Combines

On this episode, Kendall is challenged to make a dish that combines grilled cheese and soup dumplings. Kendall takes the best parts of these two already incredible dishes and makes maybe the best thing we've ever seen!

Starring: Kendall Beach
Directed & Edited by: Brad Cash

From Andrew's chaotic vibe, and Alvin's chill demeanor, Kendall's absolute cinnamon roll of a personality really ties together the mood triangle.

I would’ve loved for Kendall to go full malicious compliance and make a soup dumpling into a sandwich, but this is also great.

Kendalls awkward kitchen mom energy is always a treat

I think you should have done soup dumplings, filled with only tomato soup, and served with a fried cheese "dumpling skirt" underneath. This way the filling is soup, rather than pizza roll filling, and you get the flavour of the grilled cheese (the part that escapes the grilled cheese sandwich and becomes crunchy)

[Greysnowman]

I could see this working by making shengjian bao instead of xiaolong bao: they are soup dumplings with a thicker, sturdier dough that are pan fried instead of steamed.

Kinda hope all of these episodes result in recipes which can be combined into a "Kendall Combines" cookbook! This one looked particularly great

The funny thing is that this is something that exists in one of the restaurants near where I live. They have dumplings (steamed or pan fried) with about 2 dozen fillings and one of them is cheese, tomato, and egg.

Kendall's positive energy and sweet temperament are just what I needed on this hectic holiday. Thanks for another amazing episode!

I laughed so hard at “I do alot of finger…. um…” 😂

[TinyTaco]

Andrew trying not to say “you don’t take the whole thing in your mouth at once” was a great thing to watch 🤣🤣🤣

[ToriFloop]

when she got excited over making the soup dumplings and the lil happy dance, my heart melted asdf
kinda wish i could try this but without the tomato soup part

[kalliste]

So glad to see Kendall back, and her "I don't like soup" statement makes me like her even more!

[VerhoevenSimon]

I love the energy Kendall brings to the show!

[Ben_The_Titan]

9:03 Kendall's reaction to the dumpling is priceless.

[katsumiis]

I think it would have been better had you done this based off of Sheng Jian Bao rather than Xiao Long Bao. It's a yeasted pan fried soup dumpling which holds a lot better when fried and has a more bread like chew. I can definitely see it working with a tomato soup and cheese filling. YUM

Kendall is so adorable. We need more Kendall in this world.

[BunnyGini]

Enjoyed this episode! Wish there were more episodes of Kendall Combines on a weekly basis!

[MsStarSwordPlays]

“Absolutely not disrespectful at all..” *proceeds to roast tf out of Trader Joe’s* (and rightfully so haha) I love this series 😂

[anonymousnlonely]

As a certified Chinese person, I really like the idea of grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings. My mum wouldn't though :P

[gryrabild]

So excited to see more Kendall Combines! I do think the format of the first episode was slightly better though, using two stables to make something unexpected and delicious, rather than this fusion cuisine format where the end product is fairly easy to imagine.
