Chef Wang has over 20 years of experience in dumpling-making. That’s a really long time! He sounds so good at making dumplings that he feels proud of each and every one he makes. Chef Wang awakens in the morning before the sun comes out of the sky. While most people are still asleep, Chef Wang is awake and hard at work. He selects the finest ingredients for his special dumpling recipe. Then he gets right down to making the dumplings we all love.
Chef Wang, for his part, hand-makes the dumpling dough. So that his dough is soft and fluffy, he mixes and kneads it by hand. Minced pork, sweet onions and spicy ginger comprise the filling at the heart of the dumplings, which is made with only the freshest and best ingredients. Chef Wang is also famous for using a special mix of spices that makes his dishes taste great, making his dumplings irresistible.
Chef Wang is not just a great dumpling-maker; he is a great teacher, too. He thinks it is really important to share his skills and experience with others. Which is why he trains his helper, Lily, to learn how to make dumplings in the same way he does.
The first lesson Chef Wang taught Lily was to always use fresh ingredients. He invested the time to show her how to pick the best cuts of meat and how to prep the vegetables properly. It’s essential to use the freshest ingredients, since they improve the flavor of the dumplings significantly. Chef Wang also showed Lily how to fold the dumplings properly so that they not only look gorgeous but taste delicious as well. Folding is a crucial part of the process because it ensures the filling stays within the dumpling as it cooks.
Chef Wang takes all of his love and passion when he makes dumpling. He really believes that food tastes better when you are cooking with love. According to Chef Wang, his customers can taste the love and care he has put into making his dumplings within the first bite. Which is why people keep returning for his dumplings over and over.
The secret to mouth-watering dumplings from Chef Wang is in the fine detail. He spends time making sure every dumpling, from the dough to the filling, is perfect. Chef Wang argues that every dumpling should be the same size and shaped so they look good on the plate and taste great.
Chef Wang prepares his dumplings in a special way that makes the taste even better, too. First, he steams them, leaving them soft and fluffy inside. He then pan-fries them until they are crispy and golden on the outside. This method creates the ideal texture so when you chew into a dumpling, bite, you get a soft and flavorful inside, and a crunchy outside.
