Courage to try something completely new
Last week was so busy with daughter's play rehearsals and performance two nights, we didn't really cook very much. She played Ivy in the Pulitzer-prize winning play, "August: Osage County."
To top that off, Dooley wasn't feeling well most of the week so Doolia made Pasta and Asparagus one night alone. And over the weekend, Doolia baked our favorite Multi-grain bread. Sad, really, because we had bought ingredients to make something almost every night.
So tonight Dooley finally was feeling well enough to cook again, so we agreed to make something with perishable ingredients that would have spoiled if we waited much longer. So it was "Potstickers" or Chinese dumplings tonight. We both were a little apprehensive about this undertaking. We'd never made anything like this. Never worked with Napa Cabbage, or Gyoza wrappers. But we trusted that The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook would guide us through this new experience, as it had so many times already.
We prepared the filling and the dipping sauce, and then took the wrappers out of the fridge and to our dismay, they were covered in mold. So Doolia ran to the market and got some more.
The recipe makes a LOT of potstickers! We cooked up two batches, and froze still more. We served our little dumplings with steamed rice and the dipping sauce. They weren't as doughy as the ones you get at a Chinese restaurant, but they were totally delicious. This is another winning recipe and an enjoyable experience.
