Considering that making a large quantity of dumplings could take an entire day, get people to help you in the kitchen. Choose Chinese raviolis stuffed with chopped napa cabbage and ginger to get a clumpy texture. Add ground pork and a mixture of soy sauce, then call your friends to help assemble them. Once they’re all done, freeze them (in order to cook them later directly from the freezer) or steam them, then brown them in a bit of oil. Above all, congratulate everyone on a job well done!
