It's hard not to love a dumpling, but I am biased as I would say that they are one of my favourite foods. I would feel like an imposter if I was not able to cook dumplings, since I've dubbed myself 'Dumpling Girl', so this post is going to be about whipping up some easy no fuss home style pan fried dumplings that are also known to the Americans as pot stickers and have a similar texture to gyoza.
Please heed this warning, I have my family's terrible habit of cooking enough to feed an army, as this recipe easily yields about 75 dumplings. When I decide to make these, it's either because we have heaps of people over or Cheesecake Boy and I will be eating these for a few days on end, like last weekend. If you decide to make the full mixture and get sick of dumplings you can always turn the mince filling into a stir fry with tofu or whatever tickles your fancy as there are so many things you can use this mince mixture for. This is definitely not a strict recipe as when I cook savoury dishes I work on instinct, but when it comes to sweets I follow the recipe to the tee. Here comes some dumplings...
