How to fold dumplings in Marion's kitchen? ›

Place a tablespoon of filling into the centre of a dumpling wrapper, moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper over the filling. Pinch in the sides and squeeze to create pleats (watch the video for the technique). It can be harder to fold store-bought wrappers in this way.

Mix together a bit of cornstarch with water then stir it into the ground pork. Stirring in a bit of cornstarch and water will make the insides of your dumplings super tender. It's the secret to juicy, tender dumplings!

Unlike dumplings, potstickers are made with a thin wrapper, sometimes referred to as a dumpling skin. This is because they are steam fried to get a crispy golden bottom layer and to ensure that the filling is juicy and delicious.

Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a dab of water and carefully fold one corner over the filling to the opposite corner to form a triangle—make sure you enclose the filling tightly to avoid any air pockets. Bring the two base corners together, dab one with water, then overlap them and press to seal.

A pierogi is a European-styled dumpling. These dumplings are prepared very differently than traditional Chinese dumplings. They can also be savory or sweet with fillings such as potatoes, meat, cheese, or fruits. First, pierogies are boiled and then either baked or fried with butter.

Dumpling wrappers are stocked in the refrigerator section of Asian markets and some supermarkets. Wonton wrappers can be substituted, though they lack dumpling wrappers' thin edge and will not pleat as well. If you substitute wonton wrappers, which are usually square, cut them into rounds before using.

Egg roll wrappers are larger in diameter and slightly thicker, which creates a sturdier wrapper, allowing them to be stuffed with more filling devoid of tearing apart. They have a chewy, crispy texture when fried or baked. Wonton wrappers, on the other hand, are smaller and thinner, making them more delicate.

The best side dishes to serve with Asian dumplings (East Asia) are ramen, tomato and egg stir fry, fried greens, chilli miso steamed aubergine, pork belly fried rice, cucumber salad (Oi Muchim), tahini miso noodles, and claypot tofu.
