What a grand name! They’re pak choi dumplings really. And have you heard of Jadeite Cabbage? It’s a piece of very precious national treasure, of a chinese cabbage carved out of jade!
Anyway, like all dumplings, you can put in anything you like as fillings, and you can boil them, steam them, or shallow fry them! Excuse the dark pictures, I really should make them in day time and get my big camera out for good pictures… instead I’m rushing around at dinner time with my phone instead!

They take a bit of time to make but you can make a batch and freeze them. To freeze, put them on a plate (well floured) in the freezer for 30 mins and then transfer to a freezer bag. Do not defrost, just drop them straight in a pot of boiling water and they’re as good as fresh. Can be kept in the freezer for 3 months. 🙂They are so pretty! I love to make a dip with a bit of soy sauce, water, dash of rice wine vinegar, pinch of sugar and some chopped spring onions. Add chilli oil if you like it hot! 😉
