This article was published on February 1, 2022, and at the time of its original publication, I was obsessed with exploring ritualized consumption of food to gain luck, virility, strength, and prosperity. We tapped the As We Eat community for insights into the traditions of dumpling making and eating as related to Lunar New Year celebrations and spent a lovely afternoon folding ingot-shaped pork & shrimp dumplings with Sylvia Fine, a local foodie.
I'm actually making dumplings tonight, of all things! So thankj you. I'll need your wisdom!
You know, not bad! 9/10 because I you made it seem possible.
