Dumplings
Today I learnt how to make dumplings. My friend Annie's mom is visiting her at Hammarskjold from Beijing this week and volunteered to teach a bunch of us how to make dumplings. We made two kinds of pork-based filling; one had minced chives and cabbage while the other had carrot pureé. We made the dumplings by placing a bit of filling in the middle of a flour disc, folding it in half and sealing it by squeezing the edges together. Then we boiled some and fried the rest. Finally, we all sat down at a big table with floating candles for light and ate dumplings dipped in vinegar and sesame oil. It was a good dinner.

Mmmm, dumplings. Your post brought back fond memories of a restaurant just outside my uni in Beijing, that specialised in dumplings. For about a dollar you could get a steaming plate of 'em, and they were great!
