But I kind of want to learn to make them because I really like the taste and texture of the handmade ones at Shangrila. <BR/><BR/>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!<BR/><BR/>And it works!

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.<BR/><BR/>*grumbles at the stereotypical family-run Chinese restaurant, with emphasis on family* Don’t feel too bad…even most Chinese I know don’t make their own dumpling skins regularly, if at all.
