Making dumplings last night

6:02

you

6:02

um i think mine was maybe last night um

6:05

yeah i had

6:07

two people came over and we made

6:09

dumplings so like um

6:11

we made chinese style dumplings where

6:14

you take a flower wrapper kind of thing

6:17

you fill it and then you fold it and

6:19

then you steam it with hot water and oh

6:22

my goodness i love dumplings that sounds

6:24

delicious they were so good i love

6:26

dumplings too any asian food is my

6:29

favorite kind of food yeah oh that's

6:30

very good that and mexican food but we

6:33

talk about that every week

6:36

how much we love mexican food

6:38

yeah

6:39

um but and sometimes when i make

6:41

dumplings they don't come out that great

6:43

like or i don't know they're usually

6:45

pretty good too um yeah they usually

6:48

come out

6:50

fine

6:51

but sometimes i think

6:53

when oh jen loves

6:54

awesome you love asian food too yeah

6:56

it's good it's also really easy to make

6:59

vegan usually too because although

7:02

there's um

7:04

there's meat in a lot of asian dishes

7:06

it's really easy to use tofu or like

7:09

tempeh or something to replace the meat

7:12

they don't use a lot of dairy like

7:14

hardly ever

7:15

um and then eggs you can always find

7:17

some replacement for so

7:19

yeah

7:20

that's true good options there but

7:22

sometimes i think when i follow my

7:24

recipe for dumplings too closely

7:27

then it doesn't come out right but if i

7:28

just look at them like you know this

7:30

much soy sauce okay good you know just

7:33

eyeball everything i think cooking is

7:35

meant to be eyeballed baking needs to be

7:38

exact

7:39

but cooking i think you need the feeling

7:42

that's right passion for the food to

7:44

make good food to eyeball have you heard

7:47

of this expression before

7:49

that's a good one

7:50

if you eyeball something

7:53

so for example if you're

7:56

making

7:57

a soup and you need to add salt

8:00

but you don't want to get a measuring

8:02

spoon you just take the salt

8:04

and pour it and just say oh that looks

8:07

that looks about right

8:09

that's eyeballing yep so to you're

8:11

measuring with your

8:13

eyes

8:14

yeah it's a good expression so yeah when

8:16

i make dumplings the key is to eyeball

8:19

yeah

8:20

voila

8:23

8:25
