Oil dumplings

Overview

When I was very young, every year around the Chinese New Year, my grandma would fry a lot of fried dumplings and distribute them to each of our families. My grandmother has 5 children, and everyone in the 5 families grew up under her meticulous care! While helping my grandma, I gradually mastered some key points of making and learned how to make fried dumplings (actually, we call them fried dumplings). I’m glad I learned it! Because, that's not just delicious food, that's the taste of love!
