Dumplings With Cabbage Minced Meat Fillings

Glad the dumplings turned out great, the wrappers were thin enough, the fillings juicy and the chilli oil is tasty. A great condiment for the homemade dumplings.  I used a new recipe for the lace skirting. Very crispy. My simple meal,a simple joy.

I made the dumpling wrapper skin from scratch, using hot water instead of room temperature water and also I let the dough rest for longer hrs. The skin is more pliable ,so you can shape them into any you want. The recipe for the dumplings wrapper will be shared later at the bottom of the page.

The chilli oil, I made them too using a better version recipe which turns out very tasty.
