How to make Chinese dumplings :

1.You need to find a large bowl mix ground pork(I prefer to use pork if you don't like pork then you can use beef, chicken or seafood.), cabbage then add salt , sesame oil, chopped green onions ,soy sauce, chopped fine ginger and white pepper.
2. How to wrap dumplings. First, put the filling into the center of wrap and fold to make a half moon shape then seal the edge. Don't put too much filling into the wrap otherwise it will fail.

How to cook Chinese dumplings:

1.Put the dumplings into the boiling water about 20 to 25 minutes. During the cooking you have to stir  to avoid the dumplings sticking together.

2. Mix soy sauce, chopped fine garlic and rice vinegar ingredients to make the dipping sauce.  If you like spicy foods then you can add some hot sauce.

I remember this year I went to my best friend  house to cerebrate the Lunar New Year. One of my friend ate the one dumpling with money in it which means that this year she will be lucky and have good future. In ancient China, silver and gold ingots look like the Chinese dumplings so that people think the shape of dumping are like wealth. Chinese dumplings are a kind of traditional Chinese cuisine. It is to serve important guests or family members because it takes many processes to make dumplings. The Chinese dumpling is one of my favorite dishes so I hope everyone will enjoy this tradition Chinese food.
