Je Hyeon Sim 심제현 grampy radish: interesting, are there dimsum shapes that are no longer dumpling?

if it’s stuffed is it them a dumpling and no longer a noodle? pasta perverts, I’m asking questions

Ravioli are dumplings, tortellini are not. I cannot justify this but my heart knows it to be true.

interesting, are there dimsum shapes that are no longer dumpling?

I will admit that I have always wondered why shumai are considered dumplings when they're open at the top.

yeah, when I first met them I was like ❓

But also, if the puffy dough balls in US-style chicken and dumplings are dumplings, then it's a word without meaning, and any definition will collapse under close inspection.

yeah, I think when the dough is more complicated or is not a separate piece wrapped around some filling is gets messy so fast

Also, for me, "dumpling" implies a noodle-type wrapper (as in gyoza or xiao long bao) and not a bready wrapper (steamed buns or empanadas) so it's not just about filling enclosure.

are all yeasted casings out? bao?
