Dumplings for the New Year

Yesterday we officially celebrated the Chinese New Year and the "Year of the Goat." We welcomed our Albuquerque "family" to our home and were so excited to cook for everyone. 

The traditional dish for Chinese New Year (CNY) is the dumpling. It is supposed to be very fortunate and very good for the coming year. 

Aying, Zheng and I made about 800 dumplings from scratch in preparation for the gathering! Four different fillings (turkey, beef, egg, and vegan) and hours later, we were in business ... 

Happy New Year to everyone! 

In this photo, my dumplings were on the left and Aying's are on the right. She approved of my technique and gave me lessons along the way.
