NOTES : 8 servings/Serving size: 1/8 recipe All sorts of dumplings or little packages similar to these turn up in Chinese cooking and are an integral part of dim sum. Like pyrohys, they are also similar to Italian ravioli. To turn them into pot stickers, brown the bottoms in a nonstick skillet before steaming.

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?”

~ Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772)
