Dumplings, 3 ways, North China-style from scratch (猪肉大葱/牛肉茴香/韭菜鸡蛋)

EDIT: There's some incorrect information in this recipe - we're going to be re-doing this video in about a month.

So we wanted to teach you how to make homemade Chinese dumplings from scratch. There's a million different varieties of dumplings, so we wanted to zero in on the North China-style, in particular a heftier variety of boiled dumpling that's popular in Beijing.

First, we'll show you how to make the dough, and follow up with the filling 3 ways: first, one with pork and leek; then, one with beef and fennel; and finally, one with eggs and jiucai (Chinese chives). We'll also, of course, show you how to wrap these up and boil them.

Apologies for the lengthy video, there really was a lot to get through! Recipe - and a guide to many dumpling cooking methods - is over here on /r/china:

Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) :)

We're Steph and Chris - a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China - you'll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that's been living in China and loving it for the last nine years - you'll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients - but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
