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.

Potato/cheese pierogi fried in butter. Serve with carmelized onions, drown in more butter, add black pepper and garlic salt to taste. A little taste of heaven!!!
Funny you mention that. I am not at all fond of gloopy drippy dough balls in my soup or stew.
A *real* dumpling has filling of some sort. Dough balls need to be baked into something palatable.
You can have my share of those Bisquik balls.
They have a recipe for pot stickers! I just drooled on myself.
I like the steamed dumplings, not the fried “Pot Stickers”.
they are making home made at teenies tavern tomorrow, also cabbage and lekvar, I like cheese and onion swimming in butter
Oh yeah !!! Tavern pierogi are great!!! In my younger days we used to enjoy after a day of skiing with a cold beer or two.
I have lived everywhere and you cant get this in most places.
all made by hand!!
LOL, absolutely.
I suspect “real dumplings” made of flour and water predate the ones with tasty fillings though!
Though, dumplings in Mastadon Stew might not have been as appetizing!
Those with China Hot Paste are soooo good.
I lived in Shanghai for 3 years.
I was raised in Northeast Pa. In addition to the taverns, Women used to gather at the church hall to make a variety of pierogi. Sadly this tradition is disappearing.
Didn’t held that fast Eddie Rendell wanted to tax Amish dinners.
Made some chicken and dumplings in the Instapot last week and they were incredible.
Works for me, with lashings of cracked black pepper.
Oh yeah.
So sad brother did not put the turkey carcass in a stock pot for noodle soup. :(
amazing how much meat and flavor are still there.. :(
