Ask and you shall receive! Tonight, we worked on the leftovers from the Dumpling House extravaganza. Among the dishes ordered and brought home were:
-
Cumin lamb- always a favorite, too spicy for the sprouts but with great ma la
-
Chinese broccoli with garlic
-
Bok choi with mushrooms
-
Pork dumplings
-
Soup dumplings
-
There’s a third plate of dumplings in the picture which they must have finished, because only two kinds came home.
-
Crispy chicken with basil
-
and then, because we are on a quest to replace the younger sprout’s very favorite smoked tofu dish from the late lamented Wang’s, Shredded pork with dry bean curd, and we ended up with two versions of this because they forgot to specify mild (Wang’s dish had no heat) and needed to reorder a mild version for the sprout. This dish is the most similar to Wang’s that we’ve encountered, so that was deemed a win.
That’s a total of 6 entrees and 3 orders of dumplings. For a 9 year old and her dad. They tell me they were thinking of all the time they’d save me from cooking for the rest of the week. Luckily, this was documented because my husband is much better at remembering to photograph things than I am.
Note the empty seat to her left- this must have been post-table-move.
