I remember vividly that afternoon when I made these black sesame dumplings. The regular recipe calls for lard but I used butter because I had no lard. Also, peanut butter is usually added to bind the filling but…
I love discovering great looking and delicious food blogs, and recently, I found The Unseasoned Wok while browsing around. The story of a daughter-in-law learning authentic Chinese cooking from a master Chinese chef/restaurateur had me ogling The Unseasoned Wok and the delicious posts for hours. The nori-wrapped shrimp—one of my favorite appetizers was calling my name. Meet Jamie, the blogger…
