In reply to Lee. For the filling, I used all the chicken broth I gathered from the roasting. You won't get much, maybe about 1/2 cup in total or less (I didn't measure at the time, but it only fill the bottom of a small container). And once you mix it into the filling, each bun will get about the same amount of jelly.

How much jelly do you put in? In cups if you have that measurement available? Thank you!

In reply to Anna. You can certainly make the wrappers this way. My suggestion is, make sure the sheet is not too big, so you can work on a few dumplings at a time before rolling out more dough. This is to prevent the wrapper from drying out, since they are very thin once it's rolled out and will lose moisture very fast.

Hi there! I’ve always struggled to roll out individual dumpling wrappers. I was wondering if you thought it would work if I rolled out a large piece of dough and then cut out wrappers with a circle cutter?

In reply to Channon Doughty. FYI, Sichuan Kitchen in Portland has excellent soup dumplings on their menu now. Maine is rural but we are a surprisingly foodie place ;-)

Thank you for sharing your recipes. I cannot always purchase the necessary ingredients, but I do appreciate when you suggest optional ingredients to replace hard to get ones. Please stay safe.

Thank you so much for the advice you gave in your “A Message about Chinatown + Homemade Soup Dumplings” update today. I am in LA, but moving away soon, so I’ve been wanting to visit some of my favorite Asian shops and restaurants before I go, but I was afraid I would not be welcome, due to pandemic risk and to the ignorance of so many people lashing out at Asians over the pandemic. I am happy to know that my business would be a good thing and now I know I have to go!
