Chinese Americans Try Each Other's Dumplings

[@ChrisZ901]

that 3 was a bit harsh. The UFO shaped dumpling was still dumpling. the rule didn't specifically call for jiaozi styled dumpling only and if the wonton can make a pass then so should this

[@alanjyu]

The UFO style dumpling required significantly more effort than the wonton. The three individuals that made dumplings were assessed on their own ability to make their dough and to fold their dumplings nicely. Wontons are not designed to look nice and pretty. They don't have the thick skin that a dumpling does. They are designed to sit in soup, although sometimes they can be boiled and simply dressed as is done in the Shanghai style. They require very little effort to make and are significantly cheaper than a dumpling if you purchase from a restaurant. So, I really disagree with how this video turned out.

The UFO is common if you make your own dough and have too much dough leftover at the end bc it uses two wrappers 😭

It's rare to see people behave this way- with respect to each other and not being overconfident in themselves

It's because people like them are usually silent and just trying to keep everything lowkey. Unlike the overconfident people who likes to brag in any way they can.

Usually they don't show that but they did recently with a vegan cooking one and I thought that was nice. It was just a short glimpse but it was enough to give you an idea of their process.

[@jf76]

Wontons are definitely dumplings! Every culture has some kind of dumpling, which is pretty cool. They don't even need to contain something in a pocket (like with chicken and dumplings). I was lucky to be raised by my Chinese mom who taught me how to make dumplings and I have put my own recipes too. I like to use medium fatty pork and chopped shrimp, lots of finely chopped Korean leek, spring onion, garlic, a bit of soy and sesame oil and white pepper. A splash of fish sauce and a little oyster sauce. Sometimes some finely chopped kimchi. Thin wrappers if steamed or the slightly thicker ones for deep fried. You shouldn't need much dipping sauce but I do like that crispy chili sauce in the red bottle with the lady on the front.

[@ah2522]

lack of terminology on English's part. In Chinese, dumplings are boiled (hence the name, you dump them in water), and are shaped only a certain way. Wonton dough and dumpling dough are also completely different.

[@kimmyklo7848]

[@KpopLover4Ever]

Ehhh, wontons aren't "dumplings". By the (lack of) English terminology, they fall under the "dumpling" umbrella because they both involve putting a filling into a wrapper. But in Chinese culture, a jiaozi 饺子 and a huntun 馄饨 are 2 separate culinary items. They would not be considered the same thing. Similarly, in Mexican culture, although tacos, enchiladas and burritos all involve a tortilla, it doesn't mean they are the same dish. Not to mention dumplings and wontons don't even share the same wrapper, so the differences are greater than a taco versus burrito versus enchilada.

[@renia1833]

Some info about dumplings. It's origins are actually unknown and each country has its own unique flavour and style of dumplings. Dumplings have been around for a long time in the cuisines of many different cultures. The first dumpling recipe appeared in a Roman manuscript called Apicius assumed to have been written around A.D. 400, and there is evidence of dumplings being eaten in China during the Tang dynasty as well as in Switzerland as far back as 3,600 B.C. Dimsims, momos, gyozas, Banh Bot Loc, Buuz, and mandu are just some type of dumplings to name a few.

They are all dumplings. Anything with a dumpling skin wrapper and filling are dumplings regardless of how you fold it.

[@alanjyu]

Imagine that people were asked to make ravioli and were judged on how they made their pasta dough and folded their ravioli, but one person decided to make tortellini using store-bought wrappers and won without having to be accountable to their technique. Dumplings and wontons are not the same. Dumplings have a much thicker skin and are designed to hold their shape. Wontons use a thin skin. They do not have to look pretty and they are made very quickly because they are designed to sit in soup. Dumplings and wontons come from entirely different regions of China. There are a hundred varieties of dumplings in china, and each variety deserves respect.

We need to use the Chinese word for dumplings because everyone uses that word in different foods in English. If we called this a gao zi challenge then we could narrow what they cook down . 4 of them made gao zi while one made like a dim sim which in Australia is like a oversized wonton/ gao zi hybrid thing. Also it would be more fair if they rated them at the end so that they can compare instead of rating them one by one

The UFO-shaped dumpling is common in China. When you have too many dumpling skins left, but not enough filling, make UFOs can use 2 skins for1 filling
