unar New Year is just about here: It's the time for food, family, and traditions. And...dumplings. Because what better way is there to celebrate? Indeed, in Chinese culture, jiaozi, or steamed dumplings, are typically folded and eaten on New Year's Eve; they're said to symbolize luck and prosperity for the year ahead. They also symbolize deliciousness.
I, myself, am an equal-opportunity dumpling eater, year-round. But for some reason, making dumplings at home has never really occurred to me, but it's actually the perfect weekend project. It's a time investment, sure, but so are those sweet rolls I made this past spring, and that homemade whole-wheat tagliatelle. And there's a huge upside: At home, I can put just about whatever I want in them, steam or fry them exactly to my preference, and freeze them for whenever a dumpling craving hits (they'll probably run out soon). Best of all, dumpling-pleating seems like possibly the most therapeutic kitchen task imaginable, and I could always use a little chill.
So in the spirit of good luck and prosperity this Lunar New Year and beyond (and a satisfying weekend project, to boot), I'm happy to present 32 top-notch dumpling recipes: from pierogies to ravioli, gyoza to samosas.

I love dumplings! Seeing that photo makes me want to order some now.
I spend all day making them and Boom! they are gone in 20 min!! best to get an assembly line going, lots of hands..
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... steamed pork dumplings!
Me too. :p
Sooo good!
When I think of dumplings, I think of my big pot of Beef Stew, with cubes of beef, carrots, and potatoes-very simple-that has large dollops of Bisquick dough dropped into the still piping hot broth to cook!
I can usually get about 12...:)
Ok. That is my next soup!
you know all the fat we skim off the soup and toss? chill it and mix with the meat/veg viola!
Those look like what I know as Pot Stickers. My go to sauce for those would usually be Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade sauce.
I have to be careful not to over cook the Stickers, or they will fall apart.
I like chicken and dumplings but yeah, OK
delicious
I’m the jerk that will eat a plateful at a buffet ;)
YUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM!
Had a chicken soup with spinach and gnoochi dumplings the other day- awesome!!
Love it!! :D.
“The chicken and dumplings will hurt your eyes...”
:)
Pot Stickers. My go to sauce for those would usually be
Fish sauce and hot chili oil with grated carrot.
Gyoza! Try steaming them in Sake!
the old Asians say similar things to kids about fried chicken feet :) you dont eat! make you hand shake...
