Dumplings, what dishes do you make where they stand out?

[CraigC]

I'm asking about dumplings that are part of a dish and not stand alone like Dim Sum. There are many, called by different names that are a major stand out in many dishes. Chicken and dumplings, kartoffelklosse, dumplings in stews, etc. What do you love to make that has dumplings?

Jamaican curry with spinners. Not made this in ages.

There is a southern dish called Chicken and Slicks. Slicks are just a type of dumpling. I consider potato gnocchi as dumplings.

That sounds interesting.

I like to make a traditional beef stew with suet parsley dumplings. Delicious!

I'll have a look for the recipe. A friend taught me and it's written down somewhere.

There are also Peking Ravioli, at Chinese restaurants, aka, dumplings.

I'm asking for dumpling other than Dim Sum.

How about the Norwegian Raspeballer, a potato dumpling. This whole recipe looks lovely:

There is an article about dumplings here:

Extract re oriental dumplings (dim sum and the like):

In fact, the dumpling has a richer history and a wider reach than the English, with their island mentality, ever imagine. Central European dumplings display at least as much variety as those of the UK. The "dumplings" of Asia are often nothing of the kind, so called by Europeans who sought a name for oriental filled pastas like jiaozi, and landing us with this confusing nomenclature ever since. Those "dumplings" merit their own article, and I'll discuss them another time alongside ravioli, pelmeni and so on, which they resemble more closely.

Suet dumplings. I just love them in a beef stew on a cold winter evening. Although cold winter evenings are not common where I live.

These are just flour and beef suet (3:1), water and a few herbs.

Yes - the easiest thing to make. Do you use Atora suet?

When I could get it I did. There was one Chinese shop in Kuala Lumpur who stocked it. It's difficult to find here.

A friend of mine from the south wouldn't agree that they are easy to make. Gently folding the ingredients rather than mixing them is the key, I think. His always ended up like depth charges.

Stewed chicken.

Do you mean like chicken and dumplings? How do you make yours?
