Making dumplings tonight because WHY NOT! Attempting to remember how my mom makes it (because asking her for actual recipes is filled with "oh you just KNOW how much to add... just FEEL IT")

Step 1 - Immediately realize you effed up because yo dumpling skins are more frozen than your frozen soul and desperately try to submerge them in warm water while you prep the other ingredients
Step 2! MANIACALLY CHOP THE CABBAGE INTO THE TINIEST TINY PIECES use all that pent up isolation frustration and destroy the cabbage with the fury of a thousand suns so that anyone who sees you makes a mental note to never let you near cabbage again

step 3 - whisper gentle words of support and encouragement as you sprinkle some salt on the cabbage and let it rest https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Sparkling heart" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkling heart">

Step 4 - hack up a bundle of green onions even though your mom always uses Chinese chives because your partner hasn& #39;t been with you that long and you dont wanna send him running for the hills with that level of aggro flavor
Step 5! Commence seasoning shenanigans because you only have the peppercorn grinder and dont know how to accurately measure 1/2 tsp of ground pepper... repeat with salt grinder. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">

Step 6! Get someone ELSE to mix the beloved cabbage with the poorly seasoned ground pork and sesame oil
STEP 7 FOLD IT FOLD ITTTT! Fold each of those plump dumplings with gosh dang respect for the delicious bundle of future yum it will be... and name each of them Bob
Bonus - set up dumpling folding stations side by side if you& #39;re making them with someone else so that you can low key compete with each other and yell about dishonor when the dumplings are ugly
Step 8 FRY ALL THE BOBS MUAHAHA (lovingly covered first for steaming cooking things and then uncovered for crispy fried dumpling booties). Extra points for the dumpling SHEET when you& #39;re done!
Obviously step 9 is stuff your face immediately until you feel regret
