I absolutely love this dish! I've made it a few times for guests, and most of them seem to love it as well. It tastes great and makes for an exotic looking meal as well. What this recipe doesn't indicate but that Ming Tsai does in his own cookbook is that one should use chipotle peppers in adobo. The first time I made this, I was running around looking for chipotle peppers and wasn't sure which type to use. Using the canned chipotle peppers in adobo makes it a lot easier.
A on this recipe!

This was my first try at making dumplings and my family loved them. My four year old keeps asking me when I will make them again. I did not use the chipotle or the chili oil so I added a few other ingredients. I added chopped water chestnuts, 1 Tbs of soy sauce, 2 tsp of dark sesame oil and some fresh ginger (not too much. The pea broth is excellent. I used frozen peas and I agree with the other review it can be eaten alone.

My husband made this for a dinner with friends. We all loved it! The chili oil was the clincher as a flavorful compliment to the pea puree (which my husband suggested was so good it could be eaten alone as a soup. This one is definitely going to be made again!
