Delivery from FlyByJing today---a day late so nerves were high. Dumplings were well packed with dry ice and solid frozen. Phew.
DH birthday yesterday, I picked up some dumplings from WholeFoods. Horrible. Big and fat and no flavor.
I've made them for years with lots of ginger and lemongrass. (pre-covid) Get some friends together and have a party. Same with a big tamale making party and empanadas. Squirl away a few dozen in the freezer so those that help making them can take home a few meals.
The big jars were a fathers Day special with a free spice blend.
Bugger that USPS sent an e-mail that they were delivered. No delivery. He came back an hour later so embarrassed.
We are having all three tonight with a simple miso soup.
I expect better than most. We shall see.
Red package is Dooubanjiang. Mung bean paste. Should have ordered but just saw it this morning when checking on delivery tracking.
I need dumplings in my freezer for quick meals straight from freezer. If I order again, I'll try that.
What I have now is 138 dumplings in the freezer for a while. Easy meal once a week or so.
Thankfully the shitty WholeFoods were two boxes with eight dough balls in each. yuck. Dog food.
