I know it’s tradition to have dim sum on Saturday and Sunday for brunch but didn’t you ever want dim sum whenever you wanted it? And now [...]


You know those foods that you never liked as a child, and then refused to eat them as you grow up, and then one day you eat them cooked differently, and you’re like “wow, I’ve missed out so much!” Well dill is one of them. I’ve always hated them whenever my mom cooked with them [...]

饺子

The 2 differences between jiaozi and wontons are the shape and thickness of the wrapper. Jiaozi are thick round wrappers and wontons are thin square wrappers.
