I think why the Chinese guy told people to push a little bit at the bottom of shumai is to avoid the skin become sticky. Therefore, when the shumai is done and being lifted by chopsticks, it will not be too sticky on the steam paper.
interacting with your audience and having us basically vote for a thumbnail is really great, i feel like you truly care about what you give your audience. keep up the wonderful work.
I've got a metal couscous pot with holes in it that fits onto one of my 28cm deep sauté pans, ideal for steaming... Cut a round piece of oven parchment paper to size, fold it and fold it again a couple of times, then take a paper hole punch to make holes in it... Works a treat... I've got the bamboo steamer baskets as well, but the couscous pot just works better, since it all fits together better..
The receipes are so impressing, I can approve as a Chinese that they looks so good and tasty. There is a small tip that Japanese are using on the potsticker(gyoza) that you can add starch water (simply mix half spoon of corn starch and one spoon of water) instead of pure water to get even more crispier bottom.
Pushing the center of the bottom helps keep the shape, reducing the chances of breaking up... the same reason why most bottles are also not flat bottomed. I love your style!
Just watching the Shumai section and already learnt 3 tips. The cutting off the sides is great firstly because a lot of wonton wrappers I have bought are dry and have maybe freezer burn on the edges, and secondly the rounded shape and getting rid of the excess. The last tip on keeping them wet was a facepalm moment for me, trying to fold the last few sheets and them cracking was infuriating. Great vid, have a good one
I wonder whether other leaves or vegetables would be better for this purpose. I thought about shiso (a.k.a. perilla) leaves, which are used in Japanese and Korean foods, and apparently there are recipes out there for shiso-wrapped dumplings. I also found a site that suggested wrapping Asian food in bok choi. The grape leaves might be fine, but they're not typical in East Asian cuisine. I'd love to hear how they work.
@@jannasaslaw9986 I have used both grape leaves and white cabbage. Both work nicely, But do not stick like pastry. So sticking them with a toothpick, or tying with a thread or cooking tightly packed to get the shape to stay.
Luv your work, Uncle Andy!.. My 2 cents worth, cook the pot stickers in a cornflower slurry for extra crispiness with overhang, soup dumpling put your sauce on the dumpling spoon first, then the dumpling, and pierce the dumpling with a chopstick and let all that soup juice mix with the sauce before eating.
Thank you for sharing chef Andy have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Yumminess on all the dumplings my favorite food. I love the soup dumplings and pumpkin amazing. 😋😋😋🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Dim sim day. My favourite day. When I was a kid I used to work at my dad's chinese restaurant. I would stand their for hours (or it seemed like hours) packing dim sims. Ours were pork, finely shredded cabbage and a little bamboo shoot. My hands would ache, but then we'd pop the steamers on the massive woks of steaming water and a few minutes later we'd enjoy the pay off. Steaming hot fresh dim sum for lunch To pack the skins we used a (western) metal soup spoon to pack the skins. Make a circle with your thumb and fore finger - well really a 'C' the finger and thumb don't need to touch - depends on the size you want. Sit the skin on the circle take a spoon of filling, pop it on the skin and then push down with the spoon. Done! . We did the same thing with damp chux for the dim sum pastry and rice paper spring roll skins.
Great work and great tutorial! To me, I would pre-process the grounded meat by adding some salt and keep stirring it clockwise for a few minutes before adding other ingredients, that enhance your filling's texture to another level.
i made the Tangbao in this video (-crab meat cus i forgot to buy it) They are amazing. made the soup stock with pig tail instead of trotters but i doubt that changes the flavour much. I would recommend adding 1 extra stock cube per dumpling, cus it tastes realy good!
In our home we usually just boil pork skin and use food processer to break it down into gel consistency, put it into fridge and use it in place of the stock gel in the soup dumpling receipe, I don't know the detail but it may be a easier way to produce the stock jelly.
Love this video, I’m trying to learn how to learn how to make Bolivian Saltenas, they are like a cross between a empanada and soup dumpling. I think ima take some steps from this

@@Donut.Pon4ikNyet. In this case all of his dumplings were Chinese and Japanese traditional dumplings. Andy could make a world dumpling series, because everyone loves dumplings!
Looking at yr picture on the cover of yr book Andy. Folded arms represent a "barrier". Maybe, for yr next book a photo of you sharpening yr knife would b more appropriate. Should b yr trade mark! Just a thought 🤗 Keep up the great work!!
For the crab if you're like me you can go to the shore and put out some pots to try to catch them. Nothing tastes as good as crab you caught on your own.
Funny thing with soup dumplings. English speaking people call them dumplings but in Chinese it's called "Xiao Long Bao", noting the Bao part, it is not called a dumpling in Chinese. The common dumpling in China is called Jiaozi. This means that the English word Dumpling isn't a direct one to one translation with the Chinese dish as it groups Bao, Jiaozi, Siu mai (Which my mum coming from Shanghai calls dim sims in English) and probably many other. It turns out that the English word Dumpling actually has German origins, which might explain this.
Hey Andy I’m a huge fan I like the food you cook I want to learn how to cook these amazing food . Do you have any recipes that you can lend to me that would be a great step for a newbie cook
Yes, and apparently in Aussie they call shallots what I would call a spring or green onion, whereas for me a shallot looks like a pointy oval onion with rosy skin. The more you know!
7:55 It took me a few tries to understand, but did you mean to say tōgarashi? Tōgarashi (唐辛子) means chili pepper in Japanese. I'm pretty sure the round can is shichi-mi tōgarashi (七味唐辛子), which means seven-spice chili pepper. That can is not the typical red though, it's yellow/gold, which could be yuzu-shichimi (ゆず七味), a yuzu-flavored seven spice mix! That line of products by Yawataya is pretty popular in Japan, and you can even go to the store and pick the spices you want to make an original mix! Can't wait to receive your book by the way!
That small divot will help it not stick where ever it sits.
😅
And it will stop them from rolling over.
Dhrupad Gupta is Chinese 😅
Also the small pocket fills with heat and can cook the meat below a little bit better
Don't throw away the edges of the wonton wrappers.
You can deep fry them to make crispy garnishes for soup or congee.
or just snacks
True but he teaching and focusing on dumplings only not what to do with the edges of wonton wrappers

I love dumplings too. Good ole southern chicken and dumplings with some mashed potatoes, string beans from the garden and buttermilk biscuits.
Love it! Can't wait till my copy of your cookbook arrives ^^
Best regard from Germany
I just was diagnosed with diabetes. I LOVE dumplings but i am not allowed the skins😮. So I got some grape leaves and I'm ready to roll❤
Steam your grape leaves until they soften. Toothpicks are helpful to hold the shape.
@@Nembula
I love grape leaves. I still haven't found them in any market where I live.
Do you steam the grape leaves prior to or after stuffing them?

Living in Flushing, Queens, NYC.... I'm in the largest Chinatown in the USA. These all look amazing, and that broth has to be fantastic!
Holy crap, I watched this while hungry and I’m practically drooling now. Well done!
nice mouth watery food chef watching from PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 siomai is best for me matching chili garlic and splash of lemon.
OMG! I love that huge cutting board!👍
Makes me hungry & crave whenever he cooked something 😅
Can't wait for your cookbook to get here.
Currently, my favourite UA-cam chef
Thank you chef👌!
Very good attempt. The first batch I'd add scallion water. 2nd batch I'd cut the gelatin into brunoise size, and the more pleats before closing it

thanks Andy.
Soup dumplings and potstickers are absolute crack for me.
I was excited to see the pumpkin miso dish as a vegetarian. Thank you❤
I am inspired to make pot stickers and steamer dumplings today❣️. I have a little gadget that lets me cheat on my "technique" for stuffing❤
Me too and I still haven’t used it, I have all but the green prawns and then will make these
Uncle Andy delivers again!
Love your videos!!
Andy is the best :)
Aahhh centimeter, so satisfying
Love your recipes
Andy! Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing! Peace ❤
If you’re in NA, prawn is the bushwhacker word for crawfish. You can get it in your local slow-moving stream. Or almost anywhere in the south
my grandmother would use the trimmed off siumai skin on sweet soup with with eggs.
Great work and great tutorial! To me, I would pre-process the grounded meat by adding some salt and keep stirring it clockwise for a few minutes before adding other ingredients, that enhance your filling's texture to another level.
Whenever a dumpling gets a little push underneath its to make it look plump with less filling. I was told by a Chinese cook 😊
Love them. I need to Lesotho make pot stickers 🙏🙏🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼

Good job Andy, I've always had these growing up. You made something that looks so yummy!

Fun fact: Gyoza is Japanese. The chinese boil their Gyoza, the style of frying it like you see in the video is Japanese. My favorite.
Uncle Roger will be proud of you using MSG!
I make spinach dumplings little bit different and chicken mince dumplings
I absolutely love dumplings but I’ve never made them from scratch. Time to throw a dumpling party I think. 🎉
Chinese onions, ginger blend them until their juice come out and put it into the pork mince. That will be better.
