Dad was home this week for a business trip so we were fortunate to have several family meals together. For our Thursday night meal, mom sentenced us to 30 minutes dumpling hard labor upon walking in the door. To be fair, although these dumplings were wrapped by dad and myself, much of the work of making the actual dumpling fillings (in this case, chives, pork, shrimp) was done in advance by mom. Thanks, Mom!

Dad, applying the filling. He tends to go light and I tend to go MORE MEAT.

Dad has adopted a simplified folding technique, whereas I have chosen to make life difficult. Can you spot the difference?

Finished product – delicious!

Can’t forget the soup and mom’s chili oil sauce!
