Reply to comment by throwaway_tardigrade in Chinese restaurants that sell frozen homemade dumplings in bulk at prices cheaper than freshly cooked? by rumpledshirtsken

Wow, I called them and they said it might be a month before they sell them again. Maybe they sold them like crazy for Chinese New Year, need to build up their stock again, within their scheme of priorities.

Whoa! I didn’t know they were that popular. If you don’t want to wait that long, making your own could be fun for an afternoon, and even more fun if you invite a few friends. Super easy. You can buy the wrappers from H-Mart and then make your own filling; the Woks of Life recipe is great. There are also vegetarian recipes if you prefer that.

Yeah, I've done that with friends before, decades ago, but no time for that now. These are actually for my friend's son so he can have them as supplies.

Tip: when buying the wrappers, pay attention to how soft they are. Sometimes there's clearly older ones mixed in with the newer ones on the store shelf, and you want the fresher, softer ones. Older ones are already hardening on the edges.
