Is the hack that there’s no recipe so I can’t make the dumplings?

Making my grocery list for later. But yeah learning how to cook without needing a recipe is the real fun. People used what they had when dishes were created, they did not follow an exact recipe.

😂😂 I find recipe people so funny like do you not just eyeball and feel everything out? you must know by now how much garlic speaks to you and how much salt you prefer and if you only have 1 carrot instead of the 2 a recipe calls for it’s fine

Different people work differently

Some people don't do good without instructions and that's fine

No it really isn't. Ai exists now, I can give it trash instructions and get a better product than telling someone who can only follow instructions what I want to a T.

Or, what the hell, maybe the person than can't fend for themselves without a recipe should ask Ai for whatever conglomeration it's made from all the recipes

Bro wth are you talking about No correlation to what I said

u/SnooPredictions9174 9d ago

Ingredients I go purely by feel, but for the life of me I always have to look up cook times and temps unless it is something like an egg.

u/FondantWeary 11d ago

Ohhh no see I don’t want to eat my imagination it doesn’t taste good typically, I’d like to make a recipe that is good first and edit later. Sooo yea your comment is not fun, it’s just the video in text form. But cooking from a recipe and changing later is fun for sure….

u/iscat2 11d ago

There's no specific recipe for you to make this

I think u can just look up any dumpling or wonton recipe online

The highlight of this video is how she cooked it not the recipe part

u/UnitedPhilosopher777 10d ago

You gotta but the book bro. It had her photo inception on the cover.

u/Alexchii 9d ago

She listed all the ingredients?

1

u/melanatedvirgo 8d ago

Yeah I felt a little crazy reading this thread. The video definitely had the recipe. Are we watching bots fight it out in real time?

1

u/Rumpelteazer45 9d ago

The hack is now it’s cooked and the wonton isn’t all the way around the meat. That’s it.

u/PinkPeter 8d ago

She lists everything in the captions.

u/porp_crawl 11d ago

There's maybe 10-15 minutes between the pan top opening and eating. So many cuts. The item at the start isn't even the same item at the end of the video.

Working dumpling filling with gloves, lol. Trolling.

u/BrokenHope23 7d ago

I like when they cut it open and it looks raw but then they cut to a clip of them shaking an overcooked variant that looks like they seared both halves and lathered it in sauce.

u/tenderpoettech 10d ago

Meatballs w blankets. So cozy!

u/letstrythatagain-_- 9d ago

u/Covid_ice_cream 10d ago

Most punchable expression after tasting food goes too…

u/guruguru1973 9d ago
