If you have never made them before, dumplings can be one of the most daunting things to tackle in the kitchen. Once you get going, however, and learn a few simple folds, you’ll find it easier to pick up more intricate techniques. The key is to start small and simple, and little by little work your way up. If you are making dumplings for the first time, I suggest using ready-made dough. You can find it both fresh and frozen in most Chinese supermarkets. It really is the best way to start to build your dumpling-making confidence. For the more experienced dumpling maker (or for those who are that unique combination of brave and ballsy), try this simple recipe for a great all-round dumpling dough.
