We found and practiced a recipe for dumpling skins as opposed to buying the opaque discs which pass for some sort of glutinous product. Hands down a delicious experience results! However, a word of caution, taking on this level of provincial kitchen labor, is not for the faint of heart. Rolling, stuffing, and folding these little gems, give yourself 3-5 hours!
Apparently there's a
vendor in Flushing which sells homemade dumplings frozen to take home. We had some last week, amazing flavor!! They sell for .50 each?! Really for a special occasion -- go for it!
