Delicious Dumplings

Our year living in China held so many new experiences for us but among them our taste buds were challenged with new spices and ingredients daily. Over the New Year holiday a local fellowship came by to teach us how to make dumplings with them. Many of our students were vegetarians and so naturally we made a vegetarian dumpling filled with egg and an onion like (for the life of me I wish I knew the specific name) and then another filled with finely chopped pork and veggies. They were delicious and the process of making them surrounded by dear friends made the day so special.

I will never forget the way that the air hung heavy with the smell of burning incense and the constant interruption of fireworks throughout the day. Dumplings are about bringing family and friends together to create something equally beautiful and delicious. I wish I had the exact recipe but for now here are some pictures to share from our time together.











"For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but He will arise upon you and His glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising". Isaiah 60:2
