oh my gosh, this made me so hungry (it’s 8.45 am and am seriously wanting some soup dumplings to start my day!). my favourite has got to be pan-fried gyoza, hands-down. another great dumpling is the shanghai 生煎包 … pan-fried ‘buns’? it’s so hard to get good ones though, ones that are still nice and juicy inside. it’s difficult since the bun can easily absorb whatever liquid there is inside – i wonder how the masters do it!
Those Shanghai pan-fried ‘buns’ sound delicious! I got a bit confused writing this post to be honest, so let me know if I got anything wrong. Maybe I was trying too hard to list the various types, when I should have just taken the attitude that all dumplings are great, whatever the prep method!
They all look so delicious. I used to make fried wontons and your post reminded me it’s been long time…
Last summer, my daughter introduced me to something that might be called “shrimp noodle?” Her Taiwanese friend’s mother served them. Maybe it’s not a real dumpling, but they are really delicious: sort of a rice noodle pancake rolled up with tiny dried (?) shrimp, then fried and served with a vinegar-soy dipping sauce. I have no idea how to make them, but I find them often in the refrigerated section of one Asian grocery.
Hi Tess
Your little cat looks like a lion cub, so sweet! I think I know what you’re referring to, with dried shrimp. I’ve had it before, having found it in the fridge of a Chinese supermarket, but haven’t tried it fresh. I can’t remember the name of it. Tasty though!
Tess,
Are these the ones we were talking about?

That’s my cat “Gracie” who we acquired as a stray who used to come to the kitchen door looking for food—there is an apartment complex across the street and when some folk move out they abandon their cats—and we already had 2 cats so we’d tell the cat at night, “Say good night, Gracie!” Do you know George Burns and Gracie Allen? Anyway, that is the friendliest cat I’ve ever seen!
And YES those are what I’m talking about. I’ll have to try them as they are cooked on the site you referenced. What is XO sauce? Thanks for the info!
Hi Tess
What is XO sauce?! Funny that, I’ve written a post called What is XO Sauce?

It’s lovely, addictive stuff!
Gracie is cute. My cat’s called Molly, also a cutie and a rescue cat…
