DUMPLINGS!!

Last week we made some yummy dumplings as part of our Chinese New Year celebrations! We made pork and shrimp dumplings and a vegetarian option. We made them from scratch which mean't we had to make the dough too. Once we made the dough it needed to rest in a plastic bag for 20 mins, while we waited for the dough to be ready we made the filling. There were lots of yummy ingredients that went into the filling and everyone had a turn of measuring, adding and then mixing. Dumplings take a long time to make so we were so lucky that we had the help of Cindys mum Irene to show us how to make them! Once they were ready we steamed them and then ate then for morning tea with soy sauce to dip them in. YUMMMMMMMMY they were so delicious! Thank you Irene for coming to help us xxxx
