. This cookbook was an easy choice for us because it has pictures of each and every recipe and even step-by-step instructions. Needless to say, after a quick look through the book, the Pork Dumplings immediately replaced the Baked Egg Rolls.
We went straight over to the Asian market that was nearby in order to purchase the ingredients and a few other necessary items... like a bamboo steamer. This has to be one of those coolest kitchen tools that I've gotten recently (and I've picked up several new things recently due to My Husband encouraging my blogging!).My Husband helped with pinching the dumplings so that they made these cute little purse-like dumplings. The dumplings steamed up beautifully, and were so cool to serve in the steamer. The dipping sauce had a bit of a spicy kick to it, the men loved it. It was a bit too spicy for me, but a little soy sauce evened it out. The dumplings didn't last more than 5-6 minutes, so I'd say they were a hit. I didn't have time to make the whole amount before supper club, so I used the filling I had left to make up the remaining dumplings on Sunday for dinner. My boys devoured them!
Stay tuned for more recipes from this cookbook. We may be eating more Asian food over the next few weeks.

Those steamed dumplings look good. Nice crimping. I normally do my dumplings as potstickers. I will have to try steaming one of these days.
I've seen people talk about those bamboo steamer baskets, but I've never thought to get one myself. Since you seem pretty excited about it, I think I'll be checking it out!!
Your hubby did a nice job with the dumplings!
This looks so cool, I love the look of those dumplings. Yum!
