Shanghai'd

Here is a picure from my team's recent dumpling party. We made 400 dumplings for 20 people.

Dumplings are a part of life in all areas of China, the difference is in the wrappers and the fillers - southern dumplings are small and delicate, northern ones are big and meaty (these descriptions also match the people in those areas!) Even the way you wrap the skin makes a difference. As my team comes from all over China, we had a good mix of huntun (south)and jiaozi (north) and some special shapes from those less skilled :-)
