Reviews"If it's a small, succulent parcel encased in dough, pastry, batter, or leaves from anywhere between India and Polynesia, you'll find a recipe and crystal-clear instructions for making it with Andrea Nguyen's Asian Dumplings ." -Cooking Light, Favorite Cookbooks, 2010 "Nguyen, author of Into the Vietnamese Kitchen , celebrates a wide array of dough-wrapped treats from China, Vietnam, Japan, Philippines, India and Korea in this lavishly photographed homage to the not-so-humble dumpling. She divides her treasure trove of recipes by dough type, including filled pastas, thin skins, stuffed buns, rich pastries and more. Japanese pork and shrimp pot stickers, Filipino chicken and egg buns, and spicy potato samosas whet the appetite and show the diversity of the offerings she provides. Line drawings highlight shaping techniques to make half-moons, pea pods, crescents and footballs. Nguyen includes recipes for making dough and wrappers from scratch, including rice sheet batter, wheat starch dough and basic dough, among others. She also showcases dessert dumplings such as fried banana spring rolls, and milk dumplings in cardamom and saffron syrup. Sections on sauces, seasoning and stocks, key ingredients and essential equipment round out a superb collection. This alluring and attractive book will appeal to a wide audience of home cooks and trained chefs. 75 full-color photos."

  • Easy to understand and use cookbook for Asian Dumplings

    Love this book! First purchased in e-book form, then after browsing, had to own this as a printed book. I've made two of the dumpling recipes and they both turned out very well. Easy to follow instructions. The first thing to do is to find an Asian grocery store in your area. Bring the book along with all the items marked that you want/need for your recipe. All of the author's recommended sauces, flours, seasonings, wrappers, vinegars, and other items that i purchased were of extremely high quality and often they were not the most expensive items on the shelves of the grocery store. My family loved the dumplings and egg rolls that I made. Took the author's advice and made extra for the freezer. Now am going to make the pot stickers. If you love Asian dumplings, this is the book for you. Buy the wrappers already made, mix your own ingredients, and invite your friends for some great food!
