Dumplings & Bao
A category of food that can be generalized as delicious fillings wrapped in warm carbs, dumplings and bao. These recipes run the spectrum, from nostalgic steamed pork bao that takes me to my grandma's small kitchen in Memphis to pork shumai in creamy corn broth dedicated to my upbringing in the Midwest. These recipes are the perfect activity with friends and family, a ritual that covers you in flour and reminds you of home.
