It’s no secret that I don’t exactly know how to cook—but I've cooked more in this last year working for Delish than I have in my lifetime. Seriously.
Turns out I am really starting to love it. I wanted to do something special for my husband for Valentine’s Day so I called up senior food producer at Delish, June Xie, and asked her for a favor: cooking lessons! I was so excited when she agreed to help us learn how to cook one of our favorite dishes: dumplings. Not gonna lie, I was intimidated going into the lesson. Learning how to make dumplings from scratch seemed like a daunting task, but June quickly put us in our place reassuring us by saying: “It’s food guys, it’s not that serious.”
She took us step-by-step through the process and somehow we made incredibly delicious homemade dumplings without a rolling pin! You have to see it to believe it, so make sure you check out the full video.
My husband and I order dumplings at least three-to-four times a month and I have to say, hands down, these were the best we ever had. I feel honored to learn from June, someone who garners millions of views on YouTube for her unique take on cooking. Truly the love, time, and energy that went into making these dumplings was reflected in the taste.
(P.S. You can make the exact ones we tried right here!) I am ready for round two! What should we make next?
