They just looked like chives to me. I don't eat shrimp though, it'd probably be good enough with just the pork I would think. I know they aren't the same as green onions but the taste is similar, and we used green onions last time (my teachers told me they consider green onions a spice and not part of the actual filling, weird huh?) HM I wonder... maybe we just had regular chives last night and it wasn't this garlic chive thing. I wish I still had the packaging so I could check what they had written for the chinese name! I'll keep my eye out for it!MsHarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023014736812574910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97848288601006799.post-35011349585901942992010-07-30T13:41:28.278+08:002010-07-30T13:41:28.278+08:00Amazing...

I always make dumplings *mostly* from scratch but the dough from scratch is too much for me. You need two to do that, and your husband is so great for being the roller : ) Since you like garlic, have you tried making them with garlic chive instead of cabbage? Garlic chive (jiu cai) is plentiful in China. Mix in a little shrimp w/ the pork and garlic chives and it's beyond delish!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216324874406973211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97848288601006799.post-69710073018861380532010-07-30T09:02:41.191+08:002010-07-30T09:02:41.191+08:00Kel- the hubby happened to be by City Shoppe (its ...Kel- the hubby happened to be by City Shoppe (its near our embassy) so he picked up all our meat/veggies there last night. :) Anyway we tried to make the fried ones (guotie) but unfortunately we did it totally wrong and they were ruined, buaha. Our teacher taught us some tricks though! next time we'll try it out.<br /><br />Jessica - when I figure out exactly what the measurements are, I will be sure to make a post with the recipes!<br /><br />It was really good guys! I don't know if it would pass Chinese standards, probably not, but it was GOOD! And now that we are getting better at dough, the wrappers will get better too. <br /><br />That sauce is the most amazing thing about it. lol.MsHarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023014736812574910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97848288601006799.post-61508079515027702682010-07-30T05:44:38.069+08:002010-07-30T05:44:38.069+08:00mmmm, those look SOOO good.
