Dumplings. China’s gift to the world. These soft, crescent-shaped Asian delights contain a mix of meat and vegetables and can be served steamed, boiled or fried. Some like to dip them in vinegar, others like them plain, and most go for the good ole soy sauce, garlic and pepper mix but regardless of how they are prepared or eaten, we can all agree that these little treats are delicious. Legend says that dumplings were first conceived by Chinese Doctor, Zhang Zhongjing, as a remedy for frostbite. He wrapped a mix of medicinal herbs and mutton in dough then fed them to the sickly to improve their blood flow and voilá! A flavorful remedy had been born! Now, dumplings can be found in almost every street and night market across Asia and the world.
