The dumpling industry
The Chinese are wild about dumplings (Shown second row left). Entire restaurants are devoted to their sale. I guess it's analagous to the American love affair with pizza. Dumplings are eaten with chopsticks. They may be placed on a plate, or in soup. My friend Yang Ping invited me to her home to learn the fine art of dumpling creation. You must take care not to stretch the dough too much and pinch the dough packet into the shape of a half moon. Yours truly had a hand in making the dumplings shown in this picture. Yang's daughter Lucy is an expert dumpling maker.
