Are you serious? There are so many I like! I guess I would have to go with soup dumplings. I make dumplings at home but have yet to master the soup dumpling.

The steamed bun dough is different from the potsticker dumplings because it has yeast and rises.  We used about the same filling as you did!  Then I learned you can cheat and use refrigerated biscuit dough and it tasted great that way too!Ygcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-48060383601387683332012-01-20T14:21:27.288-05:002012-01-20T14:21:27.288-05:00I love lo mien noodles whether it is with meat or just vegetables bec. of the variety of ingredients and they taste so good and such a comforting food for me!Monettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-7303264289404849852012-01-20T10:33:58.509-05:002012-01-20T10:33:58.509-05:00There are too many favorites for me to lis, but my most memorable Asian dish would be the Vietnamese &#39;Smashing Rice Paper&#39; dish.  It consists of one freshly steamed rice paper, placing on top of a freshly toasted dry rice paper, and &#39;smash&#39; together.  The star of the dish is the dipping sauce, usually made with a pungent shrimp/fish sauce with lots of chili pepper and minced garlic.  The dish is so simple, yet all the flavors come together in that one bite:  the crunch from the toasted rice paper, the nuttiness from the sesame seeds roasted on the dry rice paper, the silkiness with a bit of chew from the steamed rice paper, the tingling sensation from the chili sauce; the piquantness of the sauce.  They all blend together to create this exploding sensation.  <br /> <br />And since this dish was probably the cheapest and most fulfilling snacks in Vietnam, I had a lot of them throughout my childhood, and it&#39;s become the flavor of childhood for me.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-92043919154959238052012-01-19T23:51:29.072-05:002012-01-19T23:51:29.072-05:00I love noodles....lo mein, soup noodles, pho, chow fun..... yum!buggy17noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-44509488218801791542012-01-19T23:51:10.786-05:002012-01-19T23:51:10.786-05:00My mom&#39;s homemade &quot;healthy&quot; spring rollsLindienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-10589767464683097432012-01-19T23:34:30.876-05:002012-01-19T23:34:30.876-05:00My favorite is Lo mei gai....savory sticky rice stuffed inside a deboned chicken and then deep fried.
