In Chinese culture, dumplings are a sign of wealth, prosperity and family togetherness. Arms cross to grab the wrappers and pour the filling inside, the dumplings multiplying by the second. They are versatile and vary in cooking methods and types of filling. No matter how they are cooked or what they are filled with, they are a celebratory meal and offer the opportunity to see who can wrap the most perfect meal. This not-so-secret family recipe anymore (sorry, Dad) is the perfect way to ring in the new year, i.e. the lunar one. And although they are often served for this celebration, they are too delicious to be eaten just once a year.
