What’s Cooking: Vegan Dumplings
So the quarantine continues at my house.
Over the last three months, I have learned how to make a lot of great food. Recently, I started to venture into foods I would usually just buy premade. I love eating fried dumplings! I order them every time I go to an Asian restaurant.
I realized over the quarantine that it might be cheaper for me to make them from scratch, so I started experiment with some recipes online and created a very tasty treat!
