Best ever chicken dumplings
stylepot has been my little hobby for almost two years now, and I'm just starting to share my family's favourite recipes. These dumplings are definitely a family fave and, to be honest, I haven't really enjoyed a better dumpling anywhere! The dumpling bar at Harrods was mind-blowing, and the dumplings at Yum Cha are awesome, but I'm yet to find a dumpling that stands up to these flavour-packed bags of goodness. I can't tell you that our family version is overly traditional, but it's packed full of ginger and garlic which makes it a winner in my book!
Russian Cheese Dumplings
Oh gosh, what a week it has been! I'm completing my last two weeks at university and, in the midst of interning and pumping out huge essays, I've been busy applying for the few jobs available. I certainly apologise for the lack of love, but I come bearing utter deliciousness.
I spotted these Russian cheese dumplings in an older issue of Feast magazine and couldn't resist trying them. I must admit that I made a few variations and substituted a couple of the cheeses for types that are more commonly available. You can switch things up too, but remember to keep a mix between soft and hard cheeses as this ensures that the filling binds together. These dumplings provided me with an exciting opportunity to put my computer to sleep and get into the kitchen, but they didn't take as long as I had (kind of) hoped. I suppose that's a good thing though, because it shows that they're super easy to make… Oh, and because I have so much work to do. My only tip? Don't skimp on the sage butter sauce - it really is as good as it sounds.
