flailing in my kitchen v3

How can I be sad when I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Happy New Year!

I know we had fish tacos yesterday, but our official new year's celebration happened on Sunday, making and cooking dumplings.

Our dumpling filling consisted of ground pork, onions, and chives. We actually had to look in three different grocery stores just to find ground pork. Giant Eagle only had a pound left and Whole Foods sells pork for $5.99/lb! It's a good thing I have a lot of grocery store options.

My friend also made a filling with ground turkey and carrot. It kind of reminded me of shumai.

So beautifully arranged.

We pan fried the pork dumplings and boiled the turkey dumplings. Everything was delicious. Next time I think I'll up the ratio of chive to pork. I love chives.

The tupperware filled with cilantro makes another appearance.

All in all, it was a successful dumpling party. I definitely want to have more of these in the future.

We remembered the dipping sauce in the pictures this time.

That crunchy bottom is so good.
