Randomness: The Spring’s Signature

Shots of my garden which is now overgrown by weeds and wild flowers. Possibly a weekend project to clear the weeds…if the weather permits.

Chicken Dumplings (Jiaozi)

 

Saturday is usually the day when I do my grocery shopping and hangout with my girlfriends. As it turned out to be a rainy Saturday last week, my girlfriend and I have decided to trade in window shopping for an afternoon of dumplings making. Rainy days do make people crave for soupy and steamy food. Since we don’t have Yum Cha / Dim Sim places in Orange, make-your-own dumplings is definitely on the card.

To me, dumpling making is not exactly fuss free.  Sure we now have the luxury of getting pre-made dumpling wrappers and mixing mince meat with some sauces and spring onions is no rocket science,  my personal hurdle in making dumplings is actually wrapping them. Yes, I’m Asian and I suppose to be good at it like high school calculus (disappointingly, I’m hopeless in both of them :( ).
