Very good! The recipe was fairly easy to make. I used miso paste and a very flavourful vegetable stock base, which gave the soup a great depth of flavour. Served soup with brown rice, and it was delicious yet filling and packed with goodness.

Nice way to dress up peas. The mushrooms, water chestnuts and celery add some needed texture. Just a hint of curry adds some nice warmth but is not in any way overpowering and the chicken bouillon powder infuses the flavor.

Potstickers (??)

Potstickers (??)

StarStarStarStarEmpty star

Making pot stickers are pretty much as same as making dumplings, the only thing different is how to cook them. Instead of boiling in the water, we fry them in a nonstick skillet with a bit oil, which really develops a layer of golden, brown and crispy bottoms with great texture. Serve these yummy pot stickers with a mixture of rice vinegar, a little bit soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and splash of hot pepper oil.
