    It's been way too long since I've had decent Chinese food, so I took matters into my own hands and decided to give it a go for myself. Turns out making authentic chinese food is not so easy in Germany! I enlisted the help of my friend Andong, from the RUclips channel 'My Name is Andong' to give me some tips.

    Hi Amy, there's actually an Asian Food Market opened by Thais in Ingolstadt, where you can buy original chinese cooking wine, Soya sause (dark and light) and almost everything you Need to cook Chinese dishes. I go there quite often and buy things there. You can just goole "Asien Markt" in German. It's just near the City Hospital! Hope you enjoy it next time when you're in Ingolstadt!

    @FoieGras 4 года назад

    For cooking the dumplings. There's a traditional method to know how long to cook. And that is to put on the lid. When it boils over, add a little bit of water (not too much just enough so that it stops boiling). Then put on the lid and repeat 2 more times.
    I know it seems more complicated than it needs to be, but that's how you get that film-like texture on the skin while still retaining its firmness.

    We get all our ingredients in China Town here in Antwerp! I would think that there should be lots of Asian supermarkets in Germany too. Don't know if you're near Melbourne or Sydney but they have a great Asian district with hundreds ofd Asian restaurants and shops. Shouldn't be a problem there to get the correct ingredients.
    To get a more authentic Chinese flavour you should have added Sesame oil to the minced meat, but obviously you wouldn't have been able to find it. Also the Chinese dark vinegar and cooking wine add a lot to the taste!
    We always add "Loa Gan Ma" (chili) to our dipping sause when eating Xiao long Bao or Jiao Zi because that's more Kunming style where my wife originates from.
