Making Chinese dumplings

Making dumplings

Mark and I made Chinese dumplings for dinner tonight. The filling consisted of gai lan (Chinese broccoli), chopped and sauteed, along with chopped baked tofu, mixed with a little gyoza sauce from Trader Joe’s (which was also the dipping sauce). We steamed the first batch for 5 minutes, which wasn’t quite long enough… and we boiled the second batch for 4 minutes, which was a little too long. Both batches were delicious, though!

Six-ingredient easy Sunday supper

 Homemade seitan, curry sauce, cooked brown rice, snap beans from the garden, Chinese broccoli (gai lan) from the farmer’s market.


Cilantro

Cilantro! I love it. It makes all my stirfries much nicer. I would love to have a constant supply but haven’t had that much luck growing it so far.
