I don't know what pork dumplings are, but have an upvote! Not sure why the other guy downvoted you.
Maybe he didn't want sticky dango all over his pork dumplings...
I don't know about downvotes, I think people use them for different reasons whether they downvote for disliking something or they just want to see less of it. I also think maybe some people accidentally vote on things when they're scrolling on their phone, so I don't think too much of it. :) I'm just here to share food photos and have discussions about food! The imagery of sticky dango on dumplings, though, LOL. Thank you!
Dumplings pretty much comprises of a thin wrapper on the outside and meat and/or vegetable filling on the inside. Pork is the traditional filling, but you can find chicken, prawns, chives, cabbage. I don't see beef very often.
You can go to a supermarket frozen aisle and find them there, too! Give it a try. :)
It is way too easy to accidentally downvote on a phone. I wish the up/down buttons weren't exactly where my thumb hits when I scroll right-handed.
I know, right! I think I've managed to catch undo all of my accidental downvotes before I keep scrolling. For those I didn't mean to downvotes and I missed undoing them, I'm sorry!
Oooooo!!!! That sounds good!
And now you've got a few suggestions from different people on the kinds of dipping sauces to use. Maybe start with just a bit of soy sauce to start, and then build from there if/when you grow your dumpling addiction. 😂
They are known as gyouza in Japanese, jiaozi in Mandarin, and sometimes pot stickers in English.
There is a vegetarian trying to cause trouble. It might have been them.

...is.....is it you? Are you the FauxPseudo meat eater?
I tend to avoid both faux and pseudo meat. I did try an impossible Whopper. It was so much like the real thing that it just proved to me how bad the regular Whopper meat is.
Funny. I've found Impossible meat not near enough to be like real meat yet for me to go for it.
Not near enough like real meat but real enough to be just as bad as regular Burger King beef.
