I’m going to quit while I’m ahead – although there are so many more delicious varieties out there!
So here’s the final installment, Part 4, of National Dumpling Week.
A couple of friends asked if there would be kreplach but I couldn’t find a photo of any lurking in my files, so I’ve got a year to take one and lead with that delicacy for next year’s National Dumpling Day – er, Week!
Like making dumplings, making this series was a labor of love, so thank you checking it out!
Multiple Reels of Multiple Dumplings – just trying to keep the Instagods happy. We’ll see, won’t we?
Here’s Part 3 of National Dumpling WEEK!

So I intended to do a post for National Dumpling Day, September 26, consisting of a few of my favorites from past posts, sort of like a “Dumplings I Have Known and Loved” kind of thing. But perusing what I have in my files disclosed almost a hundred candidates!

Here’s a video story about one – just one! – of the stops on my Ethnic Eats in Elmhurst Ethnojunket.
There’s lots more to see (and eat!) on my Ethnic Eats in Elmhurst food tour! Check out my Ethnojunkets page and sign up to join in the fun!
Rice Noodles kept warm in the kitchen in anticipation of hungry customers are readily found in Cantonese restaurants and dim sum parlors.
Rice Noodle Rolls, on the other hand, are frequently found in street carts, made fresh to order from (often stone ground) rice gruel ladled into a thin layer and steamed in a special multi-level cabinet. The snack is transliterated as Cheung (or Cheong) Fun (or Fan or Fen) – feel free to explore the permutations and combinations – but 腸粉 will get you 23,500,000 hits on Google and a typically frustrating translation of “Steamed Vermicelli Roll” on Google Translate.
I would attempt to describe the process, but fortunately we have local purveyors like Chang Lai Fishballs & Noodles on Grand St, east of Bowery, so since a video is worth a thousand pictures, here you go.
Fillings can include roast pork, fresh pork, shrimp, dried shrimp, beef, and more. In this case, here’s the menu from the side of the truck.
