INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Sprinkle cabbage with salt. Let stand 15 min. Drain. Add 1 c water and
squeeze dry, discarding liquid. Add chives and pork. Mix all together
with seasoning ingredients.
Knead flour and water together until it is a smooth dough. Let rest
10 min. Roll out into a long cylinder and divide into 48 or 50
pieces. Roll out each piece into a 2" circle.
Put 1/3 oz filling (appx) in each circle. Fold circles over and seal
with water, pleating one side artistically as you go (optional!). If
you pleat, you will get one crinkled side and one straight side, and
the dumplings will pull into a slightly curved or crescent shape;
otherwise you will have straight, flat, boring-looking dumplings that
still taste fine.
Cooking procedure 1:
Boil 12 c water. Lower heat to low. Cook dumplings for 4 min, covered,
stirring occasionally. This produces a standard restaurant dumpling.
Cooking procedure 2:
Boil 10 c water. Add 1/3 the dumplings and stir. Cover and let water
return to a boil. Add 1/2 c icy cold water. Stir. Cover again and let
water return to a boil. Add another 1/2 c icy cold water. Stir. Cover
a third time and let water return to a boil. Remove dumplings
immediately and drain them. Repeat the entire procedure until
dumplings are done. This is said to produce a more delicate dumpling,
but I don't recall ever having tried it myself.

1   c soy sauce 1/2 c broth (cooking water will do!) 1 t white

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
