We present: our family’s dumpling recipe. This was the first dumpling recipe we ever published (originally posted on October 13, 2013, just 4 months after we started The Woks of Life).
And while we’ve shared many other Chinese dumpling recipes since, this was the OG—the blueprint and the foundation of the recipes that came after, which is why we confidently gave it the moniker, “The Only Dumpling Recipe You’ll Ever Need.”

Hey listen up! I have made this recipe probably a dozen times. The ratios are just right, flavors are spot on! Easy and not an exaggeration that it’s the only dumpling recipe you need! This is the one! 🥟🥟🥟❤
Last night I made dumplings with sub-par commercial dumpling wrappers. UGH! No more of that brand. I'm going back to Twin Marquis.
I sure love it when they do videos, because it is enjoyable watching them talk and explain things. Then, we also learn cooking skills by watching by watching Sarah and Bill do things.
Yum, absolutely love dumplings, and these look very tasty. So appreciate the details when preparing food, it makes all the difference. Had a giggle when you repeated your mom’s tried and true technique of one direction, I’ve heard that before. I was wondering why you disguard the juices from the Bok Choy, could you add them to the water so you keep that bit of extra flavor? Really appreciate you showing which brands you use product wise, it is super important because brands vary and can disappoint after all the hard work and love you put into making your dish. Thank you for the fun and educational mini class in dumplings.🥟💕✨👍
Always the best videos and if you don’t have their book yet, please get it! Excellent recipes!
It feels like we’re in the kitchen with you!!!! Love this tutorial 😊. Thank you ❤. And thanks mom!!
Could you also add stock to the dumpling filling instead of water?
I absolutely love dumplings, but have not tried making them. I am going to try making this recipe! Thanks for sharing. It looks delicious
y'all have the best dumpling recipe around — I need the make them again. also, I really appreciate seeing the Northern folding style from the cook's POV — haven't seen anyone do that before.
Excellent explanation and presentation. 10/10. 👏🏻👍🏻😊
Thanks for the recipe, Sarah. Yay, a brief appearance of baby and baby Daddy
Can you chop the bock choy using a Cuisinart? thanks
This is my go to recipe when I want Dumplings. It's so delicious 😋 Your channel is my favorite.
where can I find actual amounts of ingredients pls?
I'd like to see how the sauce is made
Im here for granddaddy dumps and I cannot wait
It would be good if you could list out the measurements of the ingredients below all your videos instead of us having to click at a link.
Made this for our dinner with the basic dipping sauce on your website. What can I say it was delicious ! I always record and save th recipes that go well , this is a keeper. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe and excellent cooking instructions.
Exceptionally clear, informative video with none of the idiotic theatrics so often seen. Thank you.
Can we cook the frozen dumpling directly from freezer to the pan? Pan fried? Because I want to stock a lot in freezer but need fast cooking to serve to customers.
