My grandma makes the best dumplings ever. They're amazing, the way she works the dough makes them so chewy and juicy. Better than the ones you'll find in the stores.She's originally from Shandong and has been making them all her life so it's her specialty. Sadly she's got Alzheimer's Disease now so those dumplings are all but a distant memory.
The way you guys describe the unity that goes into making dumplings is the equivalent to making tamales in a Mexican home. I remember my tias (aunts), my mother and I staying up late to make all kinds of tamales chicken, pork, elote (corn), rajas con queso (jalapenos with cheese) or corundas which comes from my native state of Michoacán.
I love dumplings! I was married to a Ukrainian and made theirs and the Russian version. After the pelmeni was cooked, I saved the broth with all the meat and vegetable juices. I used the broth to make rice and boil potatoes in. That dumpling broth, no matter the origin gave FANTASTIC flavor. I hope you got a to-go box for the rest of those yummy dumplings!😊 So glad I had a sandwich before watching this.
It might be. They can be nice at times and very welcoming when you visit their home, but other times they can be quite cold. My ex inlaws were sweet and very opinionated at the same time. When you eat at their home they have the most wonderful food😊
I actually just had a massive hotpot/dumpling party to celebrate the end of term with my classmates in my Master's program here in Cambridge. Everyone had a great time, and it was even one girl's first time ever trying a dumpling! A big thanks to you guys for this video and your hotpot one - they've been great tools for bringing my hugely international group of friends and colleagues together. :)
Was it only me who was focused on Mike'e bowl while he was talking and his hand was shaking, I was like, "Woah! Watch out, it's going to spill over..!" :-P
That Shu Mai (or Shao Mai in Mandarin) they showed is actually from the region near Shanghai. The Cantonese Shu Mai's are usually filled with pork and shrimp. The rice-filled kind is more Shanghaiese.
I always pan fry my dumplings for a couple of minutes and then put a little water into the pan, put the lid on and steam them. Works great every single time! Even when you cook them directly out of the freezer. Like, when you make a big batch and freeze them raw, not from the frozen section in a supermarket!
+Off the Great Wall You guys are the best! Because of this video, I just did a search for the best dumplings in Dallas, and I found a place I am going to try. I have a couple of questions, if you see this and have time to respond. (1) some of the reviews for the place I found recommended something called xiao long bao. Could you tell me what that is? (2) What is the difference between soup dumplings and steamed dumplings? is it simply that soup dumplings have some sort of broth inside? I like all of your channels, BTW. You have also piqued my interest in Korean BBQ. PS - Utilize Yi more. She is a great complement to you guys.
+WATCHMAN 117 xiao long bao is soup dumpling. reason why its called soup dumpling is because the meat mixture contains bits of pork fat that melts while being steamed. Thus giving you soupy liquid when you bite into it. be extremely careful tho it will burn your mouth. Let it cool down a bit before eating
"Shepard's purse" O_O that weed grew around me growing up I always thought it was cute because the bags looked like hearts I didn't think you could eat it! its a common problem where I grew up it would grow into a 8 inch tall plant over night and it never went away. didn't think you could eat it huh. if the flowers grow in little bunches and are white then I know its the right plant
Has anyone noticed that Mike does better description of food than someone's face? Seriously, if Mike house would be raided by the food, he would have no problem describing raiders (food) to police... but then again by the time police would arrive Mike would have already dealt with the food.
Dumplings are my favourite food group. I just posted a tutorial on how to make the dumpling wrappers. Sure you could buy them. But who needs convenience anyway ;-) PS SHEPHERD'S PURSE IS SO FREAKING AMAZINGGG
Dumplings are amazing. One of my favorite foods of all time. Regular meat dumplings (not so much since I'm just coming off a vegetarian diet-- I don't like to eat meat except on rare occasions) like potstickers (shumai are my favorite savory dumplings), tangyuan, simple bread dumplings like my mom makes with chicken and gravy, small plain rice dumplings in Korean-style pumpkin/squash soup... Now I'm craving dumplings. .-.
+laura ELFhwaiting Then dumpling made in my country is incomparable with chinese ones in terms of taste for we only use onions and mutton to make dumplings. So you don't taste pork, chicken, dumplings with vegetables in my country.
I’ve been to the flushing, ny mall as a kid. I grew up in Westchester county and my dad had lived and worked in China for IBM. He, my godfather, and friend and business partner started IBM in China... my parents were also guests of the then Peoples republic of China. I live in Virginia now and have a great traditional Chinese restaurant here and love ghouza dumplings
I have 1/2 Slavic Heritage, and my parent's used to have our version of dumplings, which are Pierogies! In Russia, they are called "Pelmeny" or little ears, just like you had mentioned about specific Chinese dumplings. My favorites are the dessert ones, filled with plums or strawberries, dusted in powder sugar after being sauteed in butter sauce. I LOVE Chinese dumplings, so it was good to learn about these, thanks for the show!
Dumplings are awesome! I like dipping them in black vinegar though! :) I love this channel sooo much! Keep having such awesome vids! I would love to see more! Please do a video on different Chinese dialects! Like Cantonese,Hokkien, teochew... Etc.
This video is so heartwarming! Dumplings invoke the same feelings for Chinese people as Turkey/mashed potatoes/stuffing invoke for Americans. Next time I go to Flushing, I HAVE to try this dumpling stall. They should pay you guys advertisement fee. Also, shout out to Mike and 酸汤水饺!Love that you talk about my hometown food all the time!!!
For Latinos, making tamales at Christmas seems to be similar to how you describe making dumplings for Chinese people: a family activity where everybody has a role (preparing the banana leaves, cooking the masa, making the recado--or sauce, chopping up the meat, putting the tamal together, and then waiting HOURS for everything to steam). Love your vids!
I didn't know what those small saucers were for, maybe they were for small vegetables, but now I know they are for your favorite vinegar, oil mix, to dip your dumplings. The only dumplings I've ever had was won ton soup. Now I would like to try the fried dumplings. Thank you, so informative.
Watching them show and explain the different types of dumplings makes me think of all the different Ethiopian stews there are. (I'm Ethiopian) I just love how a lot of different countries and cultures have their own delicious food varieties. 😋
I would travel back to China just for the dumplings. Seriously. Watching them be freshly made and then get a huge plate of them when they come fresh from the pan... UGH. WHY AM I WATCHING THIS AT 12:30 IN THE MORNING?!
You should make a video showing how to make dumplings. It would be interesting to see how you would make them. For instance what is in them and how it is cooked.
You guys should also write down exactly which stall you guys got each dumpling at in the new world mall because every time I go down there I get a little confused :( I can't read anything in Chinese and neither can my Chinese boyfriend XD
刘德华 Yes, I am Chinese. Well, it's more like 美籍华人,because I was born in America, but my family is Chinese. I hope I wrote everything correctly... 你是中国人吗?
My mom makes water chestnut dumplings too! They are amazing and especially because she also adds shrimp and pork. The shrimp gives a really good bite to it.
Hey OTGW, if you guys ever come to Arizona, make a video or trying Mexican food. Try out a place called Poncho's for an authentic experience. I'm telling you guys it is AMAZING. love you guys and keep making videos! :)
had a starving day, ate and ate, now looking at guys eating dumplings in the middle of the night! best dumpling for me was shrimpy white rose- each one a perfect white rose amazing!
I was up in Beijing in 2013 for the first time and even though i've been traveling a lot since I was seven, its the first time I actually got to eat PROPER Chinese foods, not the westernized versions of them. There was this tiny hole in the wall type stall that was literally the first place I got food from after unpacking and I had this steamed pork bun - mind BLOWN! I was there for 8 months and I think i literally tried dumplings from every stall, shop, stand and when I had time, a proper restaurant. I LOVE dumplings, dim sum and pretty much everything in between. Currently working on perfecting my Xiao Long Bao! Wish me luck! p.s - nothing hotter than a man who loves and appreciates good food, its history and the skill involved in preparation - you guys are both stunning! XX
I made some pot stickers a while ago (pan fried dumplings) after a recipe from the dumpling sisters. I just altered the filling by mixing finely chopped mushrooms, some soy, a little bit of red peppers and some scallions together, fried it in a pan for just a few minutes with some soy sauce and some spices like a little curry, salt, chili. Filled the homemade wrappers with it, then fried the dumplings just until they had a slightly golden crust, then add about half a cup of water to the pan (I used a flat bottom wok) and cover to steam the dumplings for a couple of minutes, about long enough for the water to disappear (tip: try your filling, if it's very salty, use regular water, if it's a bit bland use slightly salted water) The filling was very delicious, I ate almost all of them alone xD
there are a lot of those. buddhist's, monks, etc don't eat meat so they would make veggie style of everyday common food in china. downside is, i have yet to eat a good tasting veggie dumpling wether it be boiled or steamed.
Tang yuan dumplings are my all time favorite dumplings. I can remember helping make them when I was little and we would always overstuff the dumplings so there's more filling.
I very much agree with you lads.....When we were in Beijing i noticed that the Dumplings were boiled more than fried......whereas when we got to Shanghai we found the dumplings fried which was ok as we found the food style of Shanghai to be very much what we get back home......with Beijing being very different in food style and texture.......in which i loved
The Chestnut dumplings that Mike was talking about may have been Chieu Zhou dumplings, they have chestnuts, peanuts, and I think pine nuts inside wrapped in the thick rice pei, slightly similar to the Ha Gao pei. I had this variety as it's my grandfather's region, I hope this helps and you guys find out what it is! :D
Those all look SO very yummy! Sadly I'm allergic to wheat.. I'd love to try one if it wouldn't make me feel ill. Watching you guys and learning so much has made me happy. ^^ Thank you so much for this video!
You guys are like Epic Meal Time, without being gross and actually providing some decent commentary. I felt the slow clap in my heart seeing this assortment of dumplings. My favourite foooooood! I want to eat my screen now - thanks!
Dylan Otto They aren't the same since when you bite into them soup comes out. The soup is inside the dumpling. while the other is just regular dumplings inside a soup/ broth
I agree. The smell of fried dumpling dough is aaaaawesome. And I'm a Maori from New Zealand. Love you guys. I'm doing a Food Tour of all your faves in NY this year in November. Do you do Fan Meet and Greets?
I like dumplings. Two favorites types of dumplings is the shrimp and soup in a dumpling with solely chili sauce because I love spicy food. I lived in San Francisco-Bay Area all my life, but now, live in Mexico City studying medicine and in currently going to start my second year in August.
I've seen some of your videos in the past but couldn't remember the names. I always really really liked them, but always forgot to sub. I'm so glad I was looking for videos about dumplings and your vid came up! Finally subscribed.
Omg this made me so hungry! I love, love, love Asian food! I live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by cows and corn fields. So if I want great Asian food I have to drive over an hour away to Madison Wisconsin. Or I make it myself, which sometimes turns out better. Can you guys do a few shows showcasing some of your favorite Asian dishes. My absolute fave is a steamed pork bun!!!!! If I could eat that everyday I would, lol.
I have a massive interest in Japan and it's ways and interesting facts and learning about it. But China seems really interesting as well and it's good that you guys exist to warm my day, just like Jvloggers do!
That bit about "the dumpling diet" reminds me of what we call "the duck diet" here in Greek -- that is, "eating anything you like and acting the duck." "To act the duck" (i.e. pretending to be a duck, literally) is a metaphorical expression for "to pretend not doing something bad."
Guys, I live in College Point, and that Food Court is one of my usual stops. I agree about the Soup dumplings. There used to be a place there that sold good Siumai, but they stopped selling them. Now I get my siomai from the Restaurant across the mall.
Jeez I love dumplings! Can you guys list the dishes in the description box, I know you say them but it's hard to remember them. .would Iike to have a list so I don't butcher the pronunciation lol! Xoxo Ryn
Shepherd's purse is a common "weed" here in the southern United States. I ate a lot of it during my 2 years living in the wilderness. It is quite tasty.
If you ever make it to El Paso, you have GOT to try the fajita at La Malinche. The salsa, the fajita, the burritos, I swear if you like Tex Mex, You will LOVE this place.
when I was In China, in Beijing, I ate a kind of dumplings with vegetables and eggs.....I dream about them even now!!! They were the best thing I have ever eaten!!
My grandma makes the best dumplings ever. They're amazing, the way she works the dough makes them so chewy and juicy.

Your story just moved me to tears sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your Grandma but it's good you have that wonderful memory of her
Same here man, my grandma used to make REALLY REALLY GOOD dim sum. But, now those are only memories.

First foodie video I just did not survive and had to stop watching somewhere in the middle. Made me want to eat my monitor. That's sheer cruelty.
I just had dumplings today!! I am crazy for dumplings. Dumplings, to me, are like the BEST thing in the world!!
This makes me so hungry right now
Me, too! I miss going to the Korean market in DC and getting fresh dumplings!
Love your description of the foods. Really helpful for those of us who didn't grow up with this kind of cuisine and found it later !
You guys should also write down exactly which stall you guys got each dumpling at in the new world mall because every time I go down there I get a little confused :( I can't read anything in Chinese and neither can my Chinese boyfriend XD
Thank you guys Dan and Mike for making me hungry again just two hours after eating dinner. Now I'm craving dumplings...
Great. Now I gotta go to the Flushing Mall food court.
Its the New World Mall
Anna Chang Makes no difference to me what it's really named. I've been there many times and still call it that as the old Flushing Mall is now dead.
These type videos always make me hungry. You guys make the food look so good.
My mom told me that she saw you guys filming in flushing the other day I got really excited
I'm a dumpling fanatic. This is great!!! My faves are pan fried beef / chives dumplings and traditional shanghai soup dumplings.
ugh i want all the dumplings now!
I've been waiting my whole life for a video like this. Dumplings are my favorite!! Thanks for making this!

i like dumplings.
I was up in Beijing in 2013 for the first time and even though i've been traveling a lot since I was seven, its the first time I actually got to eat PROPER Chinese foods, not the westernized versions of them. There was this tiny hole in the wall type stall that was literally the first place I got food from after unpacking and I had this steamed pork bun - mind BLOWN! I was there for 8 months and I think i literally tried dumplings from every stall, shop, stand and when I had time, a proper restaurant. I LOVE dumplings, dim sum and pretty much everything in between. Currently working on perfecting my Xiao Long Bao! Wish me luck! p.s - nothing hotter than a man who loves and appreciates good food, its history and the skill involved in preparation - you guys are both stunning! XX
Is there any dumplings for vegetarians???

The filling was very delicious, I ate almost all of them alone xD
Yep! Instead of meat you can put other vegetables and vegetarian stuff! :)
there are a lot of those. buddhist's, monks, etc don't eat meat so they would make veggie style of everyday common food in china. downside is, i have yet to eat a good tasting veggie dumpling wether it be boiled or steamed.
From my experience veg dumplings are easier to find outside of hitting up dim sum.
You can always make your own and put whatever you want.
Tang yuan dumplings are my all time favorite dumplings. I can remember helping make them when I was little and we would always overstuff the dumplings so there's more filling.
I thought dumplings were made by accident? Or is that potstickers? I remember the story on Sagwa the Siamese Cat! haha
Yep the smell of dumplings is amazing!!!!! I also really love the smell of rice bein made out of my grandmother's kitchen.
And now I'm hungry for Chinese. Too bad no one else in my family likes Chinese, or just Asian food in general, as much as I do.
I very much agree with you lads.....When we were in Beijing i noticed that the Dumplings were boiled more than fried......whereas when we got to Shanghai we found the dumplings fried which was ok as we found the food style of Shanghai to be very much what we get back home......with Beijing being very different in food style and texture.......in which i loved

The Chestnut dumplings that Mike was talking about may have been Chieu Zhou dumplings, they have chestnuts, peanuts, and I think pine nuts inside wrapped in the thick rice pei, slightly similar to the Ha Gao pei. I had this variety as it's my grandfather's region, I hope this helps and you guys find out what it is! :D
But how will I know which specific stand you got each of them from?! Gots to know guys.
Those all look SO very yummy! Sadly I'm allergic to wheat.. I'd love to try one if it wouldn't make me feel ill.
Watching you guys and learning so much has made me happy. ^^
Thank you so much for this video!
"is cold in here" mean while a guy in a blue t shirt lol
FruitBasketyay his jacket is on the chair
FruitBasketyay oh and at I first I was like.. then why are you not wearing a sweater or something... 😅😂😅
I love watching vids with these guys, they're hilarious and adorable together.
TBH a perfect dumpling should be bite sized so u have the entire flavour in your mouth at once (^-^) that's just my opinion
You guys are like Epic Meal Time, without being gross and actually providing some decent commentary. I felt the slow clap in my heart seeing this assortment of dumplings. My favourite foooooood! I want to eat my screen now - thanks!
Soup dumplings? Aren't they called xiao long bao or sth different in english? (I forgot the name suddenly)
Dylan Otto xiao long bao has soup in the bao and its usually steamed. My ex is chinese she spent most of the time schooling me in chinese food lol
Kha Pham so they're practically the same thing aren't they? Oh n the word I forgot was Dim Sum (what I hear many ppl call the xiau long bao)
Dylan Otto They aren't the same since when you bite into them soup comes out. The soup is inside the dumpling. while the other is just regular dumplings inside a soup/ broth
Xiao Long Bao is a special kind of soup dumplings. Xiao Long Bao is smaller and with thinner skin.
Off the Great Wall I just went to New World Mall tonight, and the lychee smoothie with boba in that food court is the best! ♡
:( Now I'm hungry and I want some dumpling but my parents dont want to make me some :'(
What can I do?
make your own? :)
I agree. The smell of fried dumpling dough is aaaaawesome. And I'm a Maori from New Zealand. Love you guys. I'm doing a Food Tour of all your faves in NY this year in November. Do you do Fan Meet and Greets?
Mike put hot oil in everything. >_
I like dumplings. Two favorites types of dumplings is the shrimp and soup in a dumpling with solely chili sauce because I love spicy food. I lived in San Francisco-Bay Area all my life, but now, live in Mexico City studying medicine and in currently going to start my second year in August.
Why is mike's shirt so tight lmao
Russdiculous fanservice?
Russdiculous he looks fine 😍😍😍😍 lol
Russdiculous because he is a delicious Chinese dumpling. they are stuffed to almost bursting. 😊
I've seen some of your videos in the past but couldn't remember the names. I always really really liked them, but always forgot to sub. I'm so glad I was looking for videos about dumplings and your vid came up! Finally subscribed.
(Blue shirt) you look like Jackie Chan
IpMan Gaming at first I thought it was Jackie Chan 😅
omg I live in flushing, and I do all my groceries at the supermarket upstairs :))) (love their $1 bag section)
Is the guy in gray shirt Canadian? His shirt has small Canadian flag on his sleeve
The Tshirt? He's from midwest US
it is blue
Maybe he is color blind and he sees blue as grey
Omg this made me so hungry! I love, love, love Asian food! I live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by cows and corn fields. So if I want great Asian food I have to drive over an hour away to Madison Wisconsin. Or I make it myself, which sometimes turns out better. Can you guys do a few shows showcasing some of your favorite Asian dishes. My absolute fave is a steamed pork bun!!!!! If I could eat that everyday I would, lol.
HK they have best dumplings among Asians country
I have a massive interest in Japan and it's ways and interesting facts and learning about it. But China seems really interesting as well and it's good that you guys exist to warm my day, just like Jvloggers do!
Mike either your t-shirt is too small or you need to lose some weight lol
Mike doesn't need to lose weight, that's all muscle! The shirt is too tight though.
or a buy a bigger t-shirt? he's not even chubby haha
That bit about "the dumpling diet" reminds me of what we call "the duck diet" here in Greek -- that is, "eating anything you like and acting the duck." "To act the duck" (i.e. pretending to be a duck, literally) is a metaphorical expression for "to pretend not doing something bad."

Wolf Ninja I know some think so but I rarely use it, it's just so super sweet and overpowers what I'm eating

Guys, I live in College Point, and that Food Court is one of my usual stops. I agree about the Soup dumplings. There used to be a place there that sold good Siumai, but they stopped selling them. Now I get my siomai from the Restaurant across the mall.

Shepherd's purse is a common "weed" here in the southern United States. I ate a lot of it during my 2 years living in the wilderness. It is quite tasty.
I went to this food court because i watched this video many years ago, and i was happy, theres a lot of good stuff to eat there
If you ever make it to El Paso, you have GOT to try the fajita at La Malinche. The salsa, the fajita, the burritos, I swear if you like Tex Mex, You will LOVE this place.
