Sweet Red Pepper and Pork Dumplings

Mar 22, 2020 · in Dumplings & Bao

Hope everyone is staying safe and taking care of themselves in this crazy time. I wanted to make a bright dumpling in the test kitchen to offset all this Covid craziness and came up with these braided red pepper dumps that have red pepper paste in both the filling and the dough. Hope it gives you a little joy in this uncertain time!
