One of my favorite food blogs, Working Class Foodies, teamed up with one of my OTHER favorite food bloggers, Adam from Amateur Gourmet, to tackle dumplings. Recent readers of Green Eats are justified in thinking that I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with biscuits, but before biscuits there were dumplings. It all started when I moved to New York City in 2007 and found Dumpling Man. Now if I see dumplings on any menu, anywhere, I have to order them. Veggie dumplings, chicken dumplings, pork dumplings, spicy dumplings, sweet dumplings; no dumpling is too crazy for me to try. That is one reason why I love this video – not only do you get a free tour of some of the best places to find dumplings in NYC, but you also get a free cooking lesson! Take a moment to watch the video, then wipe the drool off your face and get cracking on making your own delicious (and local) dumplings!
(If you live in the Triangle, making local dumplings is easy! Check out one of our many farmers markets for ingredients like pork, flour, scallions, and more!)

You and my husband would get along well, then, since he has a thing for dumplings, too. His poison, though, is the old fashioned Chicken ‘n Dumplings of Southern fame. Mostly because I was out of other ingredients, I recently made them for him. We had… leftovers. Way too many for me but he never missed a beat. He would cheerfully eat dumplings for a month if I would make them.

I love Chicken ‘n Dumplings! One of my staple recipes is Ina Garten’s chicken stew with biscuits, but sometimes I get lazy and just throw globs of dough into the stew instead of forming actual biscuits. Now I wonder how it would taste if I added Chinese pork dumplings…
