These Recipes Will Turn Your Sunday into Dumpling Heaven

Have you ever met anyone who didn't like dumplings?

Not only are they juicy, chewy, and filling, but they're also fun to make. And with these dumpling recipes, we've done the heavy lifting for you to move you straight into dumpling heaven, no dim sum cart needed.

Take these sweet, tangy shrimp and mango dumplings, for example. Sure, this recipe might sound strange at first glance, but after a few attempts at filling and steaming them, they will quickly replace your shitty take-out versions.

But dumplings alone can't ensure entry into heaven, which is where this smashed cucumber salad comes in. Smashing is the new cutting, and all it takes is some aggression over Donald Trump's toupee to gently smack the cukes with the bottom edge of a knife repeatedly until you've achieved mouth-sized pieces. Don't you feel better already?

And just when you thought your kitchen turned into a full-blown dim sum parlor, finish things off with these nutty, black sesame paste-filled dumplings for a mochi-like dessert.
