The Secret to PERFECT Dumpling Fillings (w/ 5 Recipes)

[@zulu0716]

I’ve been cooking Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and Thai food for 25 years. I send all my friends and family to this channel when they want to learn how to cook Chinese. There is a wealth of information here starting with the ingredients tutorial. I wish this channel was around when I was learning all those years ago.

[@EChu3173]

I came back to thank you for sharing your dumpling filling recipes! Made pork dumplings and bf and dad loved it. My dad is very critical when it comes to me cooking and he said the filling tasted amazing and the technique I used to pleat my dumplings was professional! To anyone reading this, dont hesitate to try her recipes! This is fool proof :D

[@jacdavis9]

"cooking is like magic..." I love this line - you should have t-shirts made with your Souped up recipes logo - I'd buy one!

Most sympathetic KZbinr I've seen in a while. The details and general info is perfectly balanced as well, just like the recipes. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@janetjordan9424]

I absolutely love watching and listening to you! I don’t care if it’s 2 hours long!! Your instructions are impeccable and so educational...You are my favorite on KZbin by far!! I really appreciate your “free” video lessons. I pull up your video of choice for dinner and walk through it with you. Beats a cookbook hands down🤗. Orange Chicken is my husband’s favorite so far. I just can’t thank you enough. I am sure like me, many of us subscribers spend lots of time with you in the kitchen 😍. You have a beautiful sweet and happy spirit...hugs to you for spreading joy and fun in Chinese Cooking!

This was the most informative and useful video I have ever seen. Each recipe is so well put together with the flavors of each ingredients. The tips on this was amazingly thorough, things I would’ve loved to know when I was learning in the past. Girl, you are such a good chef for your age! Keep making more of these I wanna learn more :)

[@kimberlypatton9634]

She is incredible! I have just found her too and she makes it so do-able! I have a dumpling craving today and I never realized just how easy they are to make! I thought so,since they are very popular in China and seemingly must be made quickly for families and restaurants...I just love ALL Asian cuisine!

[@gemb9175]

Hi Mandy, I made the pork cabbage dumplings today. I messed up the ginger amount (accidentally doubled it) but my fam still loves it. They asked me to send in their thanks. Your recipes help us through lockdown 😁😁

Putting sliced carrots to prevent the dumpling from sticking into the pan is a great idea! 🤩

[@rosejuliette9180]

This is so helpful. I'm vegan so I'm making a lot of substitution but it is so helpful to have advice on how to make it work with the ingredients I have. One thing worth mentioning for substitution is mung bean. Works well wherever you find egg in a savory dish.

That was the most incredible tutorial on making dumplings I’ve ever seen, thank you so much!

[@akemim.7854]

giiiirl, you really know your game! the final explanation on the key for perfect filling was ON. POINT! I loved it, you are so dedicated and that shines through your videos and lovely personality. thanks for the vegetarian option at the end! I know there are very few vegetarian chinese dishes, but it's good to know you are in tune with your viewers. I never knew stuffing rice in dumplings could turn out good! Also, great idea with the gluten free dough, I didn't think it was possible. I can't want to try them myself! Greetings all the way from Brazil! 🤗🇧🇷💕

[@atilnozarab9539]

I would not have thought I needed this tutorial, not in a long shot, yet incredibly , it turned out to be a complete eye-opener, one that would take me to the hilts of dumpling know-how perfection, I never thought possible. It's almost surreal that with these recipes, I'll possibly perfect the art of making these delectable dumplings myself. Not a dull moment in these topnotch, easy to follow tutorials and I've thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. Looking forward to your next video recipe tutorial, as always.

Thank you. This is nice. Amazing young lady knows how to cook. Thanks for your efforts for speaking so clearly.

[@vorlan11]

This is amazing. while showing us how to make real Chinese food you also share with us your tips and family secrets. For someone like me from Norway, it would have been impossible to know all the little things that you show us while making the food. Some of the spices and ingredients are difficult to find in Norway but I mostly manage to make a lot of recipes, Thanks for everything.

If you are near Oslo or Drammen there are shops for most of the stuff you will need for most any asian cooking.

I am new to dumpling making. Your video was so detailed & articulate I am sharing it with my nephew who introduced me to Dumpling Madness!!! I made a pork, bok choy, scallion, ginger, garlic filling last night using your techniques. My dumpling skins (dough ball) was rested for too long (6hrs) and would not roll out well.

[@zorg8]

I just discovered your channel. Enjoying your recipes. In your vegan dumpling filling… it’s no longer vegan when you add egg. Maybe replace the egg with silken tofu?

[@jameshunt2905]

The egg in this instance becomes a binder along with. Flavor so to replace egg would likely be agar agar or vege geletin, some might like the idea of potato starch but it requires cooking to prep and is temperature sensitive.

[@alinemarinho1650]

I was anxious to see this video, because i saw only pork filling before, and now finally chicken and vegan filling, thanks, I loved this video, you are amazing 👏

[@galalalmasri9381]

Today I tried the beef filling with spices because I don't eat pork. It was out of this world I felt like I'm in heaven it was super awesome I never tasted anything like it before. Super super delicious with that spicy taste and aroma...this is my favorite I think everyone should try it...thanks for this extraordinary recipe

[@galalalmasri9381]

If I may ask a question Is it possible to wrap the dumplings and put them in freezer for days and boil them whenever I want to eat them?

[@aslisimmm]

Have you changed some spices. Here I cannot find every of them unfortunately.

Thank you so much Mandy, I come back to this video all the time, you have made my life so much better

[@Apocalypz]

#5 appears to be vegetarian since the egg was included. Speaking of which, would potato be a good substitute for the egg? btw, it was long but *very* informative and so well presented. Even the lighting made it look bright and inviting!

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

For the NO.5, You can just skip the egg. I think adding potato will be too much starch. Rice already contains a lot of starch. I am sorry to make that mistake. Thank you for watching and being understanding.

There is very little room in chicken wings to add stuffing, but you could certainly use the fillings to stuff chicken breasts or thighs or in the cavity of a whole roast chicken.

@@MaZEEZaM stuffed chicken wings are common in east Asia, just debone them and pipe it in.

[@RivkahSong]

If anyone is curious why they should only stir meat fillings in one direction, it's because protein molecules are essentially long chains. If you stir it in one direction it encourages those molecules to stay in long strings and thus hold together better. If you suddenly reverse the direction you are disrupting those chains, tangling them into a kind of ball shape, instead, making it harder for them to hold on to each other. Thank you for the lovely recipes and detailed instructions btw! Also, I think the "black fungus" are more commonly known as wood ear mushrooms.
