Despite
that my mom always made her own dumplings when I was growing up, she
has actually never tried to make her own dumpling wrappers. Can't say
that I blame her, since in Taiwan you can easily buy very good
homemade dumpling wrappers from farmer's markets. They're fresh,
soft, and chewy. I used to love the feel of it when I helped my mom
make dumplings.
Nowadays,
you can buy dumpling wrappers almost anywhere, even in a small place
like Quebec! But homemade ones like the one my mom buys? Nope, not
unless you live in Asia. A traditional dumpling wrapper should be
made with just flour, water and salt. Sadly, if you look at the store
bought ones, some of them have preservatives or other chemicals
added.
