Mostly because none of us can get them rolled out thinly enough. I think my family’s done it once or twice ever and I’ve made a LOT of dumplings in my life.

I know most Chinese Americans don’t make their own dumpling skins often–the ones I taught never did. But I kind of want to learn to make them because I really like the taste and texture of the handmade ones at Shangrila.

And interestingly–the Popo at Shangrila doesn’t use a little rolling pin to roll them out–I watched her–she uses a tortilla press!

And it works! That is what I was using–it would have been fine if I could count to thirty instead of only fifteen! ;-)

Silly me, I know.
