dumplings

[kasia]

chinese 'siu gao' and korean 'mandoo' have tasted pretty much the same to me. maybe i'm wrong, but i suspect that every Asian country makes the same dumpling and just calls it by a different name. how do you say 'dumpling' in japanese, thai, vietnamese, etc.? and do they all taste pretty much like the chinese dumplings?

edit: doesn't the word 'dumpling' sound funny? try saying it over and over.

[deez nuts]

The mandoo I ate generally have thinner skin than the siu jiao. The siu jiao pi ( dumpling skin) on the Chinese version seems thicker. I really notice it when I eat guo tia (pot stickers) vs fried mandoo.

Duk Mandoo gook is off the hook, I love dumping the rice and drowning some kim chee in the soup. Well that's how my friend taught me to eat it.

Isn't Japanese dumplings called gyoza?

[nudel]

ahhh dumplings
for those who didn't notice my login name.
nudel= german for dumplings
nudel or knudel german dumplings

[lethal]

I think in Viet, at least from my phonetic spelling, dumplings are called Han Tan (I think)...which sounds suspiciously like "Wonton." I imagine 2 possibilities for this: 1) this only referes to wonton style dumplings or 2) my parents made up that name for them converting the English to the Viet. I suspect the former is a more plausible answer.

I'm not sure what the general term is...maybe someone else knows.

the key to making madoo is trying to make the
skin as thin as possible and
the mandoo itself, as plump as possible.
the chinese dumplings are too empty
and the skin is too thick.

no, they're not supposed to be. sometimes the restaurants are just cheap. :D

[Napoleon Chynamite]

Ya it's just an unfortunate fact of life that the crappiest Chinese restaurants rake in the most dough b/c they're located in neighborhoods where like no Chinese people live, haha and therefore nobody can taste the difference between half-assed Chinese food and all-the-way stuff not to mention less or virtually no competition from other eateries :rolleyes:

[nudel]

speaking of chinese food. my neighbor owned one of the best chinese restaurants in town. i use to eat at his house a lot. the food was so much better than what he made for his customers. where can find a place that hasn't anglonized their food. chicago area. damn what i remember of the food, americans are missing out.

[moschikat]

mnfngh. i don't know if there is a "Thai dumpling" all i know is that wonton is called "kiew" (high tone)

kiew kiew kiew kiew kiew. does that sound any funnier than saying dumpling over and over?? :lol:

will get back on the Thai dumpling report. :huh:

[ellsworth81]

there's actually a discernable taste difference between wontons from other restaurants ... please elaborate :confused:

[Adaon]

different places, different ingredients/variations of a recipe.....argh.....
dumplings = dimsum of sorts in my mind....and I had 3 days worth of dim sum this wkend.....NO MORE!! :gross: -belch- :lol: excuse me :blush:

yu ji goon tong gao (pinyin correction plz?) -drools-

ssssss-s-s-s-alapaooo . . .

uhm, nope - not working for me.

[teaz0r]

oye!

salapoa is dumplings. . . it's a diverse word? :P
cha siu = red pork = moo dang
kanom jeeb = siu mai
sakoo = tapioca dumplings

i think it depends how the dumplings are prepared i guess.
i don't think that there's one default dumpling name.

pip yarg yet dr.chasiubao

yeah mantou is that big lump (or it can be a small or medium lump) of bread like thing. i used to luv it when my mom would cut up the mantou into slices and fry it a little on both sides.

[kasia]

i heard that every culture has its type of dumplings. true?

shanghainese: xiao lung bao

cantonese: woh tiep, wonton, suer gow

korean: man doo

japanese: gyoza

more?

[moJo]

Indian: samosas, maybe? but those are more like turnovers, and fried.

isn't Gyoza like pot-stickers (gow jee, or jiao zi)? then we could throw in potstickers for cantonese, too.

[teaz0r]

thai: saqoo

[rice cracker]

Polish = pierogies

[dragonlord]

Bánh Quai Vạc - From Huế, steamed rice dumplings stuffed with pork and shrimp and dipped in prepared fish sauce (Nước Mắm). Heavenly!

[nonamerasian]

West Indian= generic bland dumplings, generic coconut dumplings, generic sweet dumplings, fried dumplings, and I’m sure some other dumplings.

[kasia]

omg. i started the same thread about a year ago. no wonder it felt like dejavu.

i have a thing for dumplings, sorry.

[deez nuts]

[kasia]

that's it - jiang tai tai. i don't know why, but i've had a mental picture of her making dumplings in this little wooden shack in nyc chinatown for the past year. i really want to try her dumplings.

her dumplings were famous, all the chinese grocers carried it. plus, you can phone in your order and pick it up. it was like a family business, her daughters helped out. her daughters were hot.

actually, i think i did go looking for them for you, that's how i found out she retired.

we (my family) haven't found a suitable replacement for jiang tai-tai's dumplings since...the whole trial and error period was painful. many dumplings screamed loudly and died in the trash can cuz they tasted horrible. we're going through withdrawl.

Shilla in St. Paul has great mandu, just like mom used to make :)

wow I never knew there is famous dumpling makers out there, this jiang tai tai, where may i find some of her dumplings?

[Oblivious]

Mmm...yes I would love to try them dumplings.

Anyone here like xiao long bao (Shanghainese dumplings)? OMG I'm the biggest fan. Those suckers are too yummy. For those in the SoCal area, there's a famous place in Arcadia called Din Tai Fung. I've been there once and the wait is crazy. But I guess it was kinda worth it. The dumplings were quite juicy.

Mmmm....hungry.....:tongue:

HOLY GAWD so good. When I visited Taiwan they took us to this xiao long bao place that was supposedly ranked as one of the top five restaurants in the world.

Needless to say, since then I've never been the same.
