To kick off our Chinese food week here at MUNCHIES, we're giving the people what they want. And what they want is dumplings. So, so many dumplings.Dumplings, which exist in some form in pretty much every cuisine (think pierogi, gyoza, empanadas, etc) are delightful for so many reasons—one of them being how easy they are to make. You can pick up premade wrappers, fill them with whatever deliciousness you see fit, make a few quick folds, and steam them to perfection in a matter of minutes. That being said, there's a lot of ways to make your dumpling night a little more of a project—like making your own wrappers, or trying your hand at soup dumplings, for the extra-ambitious. Whichever way you dumpling, dumpling well (and often).
