MM in the Kitchen: Delightful Dumplings -- Pan-Fried Pork and Shrimp Potstickers; Xiao Long Bao

Summertime has inspired me to cook more! Plus, I am in love with the kitchen in my new flat. I think I'll start posting recipes from time to time. (The new tag "MM in the Kitchen" basically means "hey, this is good stuff that I actually make.")

We'll start with an item that I can't get enough of: dumplings. Dumplings in their infinite variety. Take a look at these glorious recipes, complete with fantastic (almost artistic) photos and practical advice.

Try the pan-fried pork and shrimp potstickers or, a particular favorite of the Cine-Sib, steamed xiao long bao. It's a foodgasm, as the saucy cooking blogress there describes it!

Note: the xiao long bao do require "specialist equipment" for best results: bamboo steamers.

So, Cine-Sib, here are dumprings -- I mean, dumplings -- for you. (Maybe next time, flied lice -- er, fried rice.)
