Attempt 2, too doughy, too glutinousy hehe


Attempt 3, i didn't have pork or chives so i put potatoes in it.. not sooo good. haha...and looks can be deceiving :D

Thank-you all for particpating in the riddle game. Click here to see your results. You were all so close. How did you guess pan fried, chives, and pork? hehe

The Answer though is.....Chinese Chive Dumplings. But these are not da Chinese Chive Dumplings. :D I actually think I had these at Dim Sum the other day. It doesn't taste exactly like the way my in laws make it though. Theirs are more doughy. :) Hopefully one day I can get the recipe or see how they make it. Everytime we come over they are all done and all we do is chomp. so spoiled

So there are some days where cooking is rewarding (jumping for joy) and some days where it's frustrating and disappointing... (eating your mistakes as my friend says she does) Making these were kinda of disappointing. Boo..:/

Your eyes can spy on how they are supposed to look here: Google Image Search :)

Will the budding cook be able to cook her next meal without disspointing results? Will she regain her confidence? Is the budding cook knocked out? Will she get up? Stay tuned. Same budding cook time, same budding cook channel .. but is she the same budding cook?

The Riddle: What is this? Part 1

my first attempt, good but not perfect too crispy, it almost almost tasted like it but no no it's not IT

Question: Have you made this? Has your mouth been able to bite into this? Your nose been able to sniff in it's goodness? Has your stomach been warmed by it? Have your eyes lightened up when you've seen it? Have your thoughts been drawn to it?

The Riddle: This is something that I've been craving, drooling over and dying to make ever since my husband's grandparents made it. It's round, pan fried and oh so delicious. When you eat it, chives (green onions) and pork ooze out. It taste best when hot. The middle is soft and the outside is crispy but not too crispy. It's of Chinese descent. You can eat 2-3 of them. Or if you are like my husband - 5. It is soft. It is yummy. It fits perfectly in my tummy. What is it?

The Answer:
I want to reveal the recipe when I've perfected it. :) So to be continued...

Please tell me what you think this is? Or if you have a recipe, make me some on your blog hehe. My quest for perfection continues. :D
