Dumplings and Noodles: Bao, Gyoza, Biang Biang, Ramen – and Everything in Between

Product Information

It’s important that we as white people acknowledge our lack of understanding of what constitutes authentic and who gets to decide on that.

We love gyoza but are both greedy and tight so this is the perfect solution, we get our gyoza fix all bulked up with veg and noodles, genius recipe. Try our salmon poke bowl, vegan buddha bowl, aubergine teriyaki bowl and vegan burrito bowl, plus plenty more.Anyways, "sjw" and "woke" are just terms racists and ignorant people hide behind to justify separating people more only by the color of their skin. Noodles: I like to use fine egg noodles but you might want to keep the recipe vegan in which case ramen noodles would be best. I'm vegetarian, not vegan (so I didn't feel bad about having the Ajitami Egg too, and that's pretty delicious as well). Ultra garlicky and full of flavor with a nice spicy kick… these noodles might just become your new favorite go-to meal.

Obviously, the additional shortcut of the pre-made frozen gyoza is the answer to making this a quick recipe, which a lot of supermarkets sell (both meat and veggie options).

We have made six recipes from the book so far; we started with the Taiwanese Peppery Pork Buns, a recipe that’s self-contained with its own dough recipe rather than the wrappers shared at the start of the chapter. But the recipe I am sharing with you today is for neither noodle nor dumpling, but an eat-me-on-everything Sichuan Chilli Oil. This is my adapted version of a traditional Japanese dish, but here we’re mixing Thai flavours (from the curry paste) with the Japanese dumplings, so a bit of a hybrid. She says noodles don’t have any leavening agents and are always boiled, while dumplings are usually balls of dough that can be cooked any number of ways.

English isn't her first language and although some might find a slight language barrier, her smile and enthusiasm made us immediately fall in love with her.

She starts with some notes about the different effects that kneading and resting dough has on the formation of molecular bonds, and what that means for the texture of the noodles. Dumplings and Noodles explores the traditional cooking methods behind some of our best-loved Asian dishes.
