Dumplings: Take 2 & 3

Hi,

So these past days, I've made vegetarian dumplings. I'm not vegetarian, but I don't think I can cook meat successfully and I want to avoid food poisoning.
But it's all good, because this makes me eat a good amount of vegetables (I barely eat vegetables during school semester... especially this semester was kinda weird.. o_e)

I followed this recipe I found on the internet. Thank you.
I substituted some vegetables in the recipe for others I could more easily find here.
Also I used gyoza wrappers because I prefer thinner wrappers, and didn't cook them the same way.
(I boiled them)

Here are pictures \^o^/
(by the way, take one is here)


TAKE TWO

Vegetables I used:
Spinach, carrots, celery, enoki mushrooms and green onions

My filling. Tasted good.

Several dumplings exploded that time...

... But others turned out pretty good!


Also fried them.

Ended up burning them. -.-


TAKE THREE

Because I still had celery, carrots and green onions, I decided to make the recipe again. I think it tasted pretty good. Of course, it's not as good as when you put meat in them (I like eating meat), but it's a recipe worth taking the time to chop all of these veggies.

Vegetables used:
Spinach, carrots, green onions, celery, white mushrooms

Added noodles because the filling was a bit too liquid.

You can see the ends of the gyoza pastries starting to become dry...
>o<

Boiled too long!

Next batch was better~


Top plate though..

Frying :)

I don't really feel like writing a lot...
I had planned to write a couple of things on here during the Christmas holidays, but somehow didn't really follow my plans.

Anyway, byebye.
Merry belated Christmas and happy early New Year 2016. :)
