The Reinvented Classic – Pasture Raised Pork, Local Baby Bok Choy & Organic Cabbage

I think Mimi Cheng’s makes the best dumplings I’ve ever had.

Your typical Chinatown dumpling is all about the fried wrapper and the dipping sauces. The contents are often bland and pointless.

What sets these apart is the high quality ingredients, especially the fresh ginger. It’s amazing what a difference that makes.

Sure, you’ll pay more for that quality. This isn’t Prosperity or Vanessa’s, where someone will angrily toss you 4 fried dumplings for a buck. And you’ll eat every bite in about a minute.

Mimi Cheng’s dumplings are meant to be savored. Take your time. Use plenty of Mimi’s Secret Sauce (like a spicy garlic soy sauce). Don’t take all day, mind you. Just no need to shove them all in your mouth at once.

Unless you’re doing it as part of a self inflicted dumpling eating contest and, in that case, you have my blessing.
