    TYOTD: Research Addition

    we had some amazing dim sum for lunch today. Only got one pic because we did t know it was going to be so extraordinary. One we took the first bite, it was on after that. Amazing soup dumplings, egg roll, beef dumping (pictured), and veggie dumpling. This was the best dim sum we have ever had, including San Francisco or anywhere else.

    Still learning but here is where are as of today:

    dough is still a work in progress. Good but not great. I think we are actually getting it too thin. 

    Best thing I learned so far in this process: homemade chili oil is the sh!t. Homemade sriracha might even be better. Not it’s not. But maybe? It’s close and learning how to make both has been a blast. 

    Making soup dumplings is the most fun, challenging, and rewarding 

    the samosas were just as fun and every bit as delicious as the more traditional Chinese style. 

    More to come. Much to learn but well worth the effort.

    Dude... let me go on record saying that that chili oil is WAY mo' bettah than the chili crisp stuff that's been all the rage recently.

    Collected ingredients but still haven't gotten around to make chilli oil yet :) Meanwhile decided to try this approx 50:50 mix. Tried it on fresh made steamed-fried dumpling, not too shabby; the chili oil, black beans and umami'ish crab paste played well together.

    maybe it has been mentioned here, but I was binge watching some cooking shows last night.  Eat the World with Emeril Lagasse - Episode 2 is all about finding the best dumpling in Shanghai  These places are cranking out 16 - 40,000 dumplings a day.  The "slow" dumpling chefs can make one in 10 seconds while the fast ones can make them in 5-8 seconds.  :-)

    Give it a watch if you have time!  @The Cen-Tex Smoker

    Missed this, somehow. That sounds delicious!

    I've been wanting to play around with shrimp paste, and didn't know that crab paste was a thing. Adding it to my grocery list :)
