🌧️ The rain is tapping on the tin roof, the fog is settling into the hollers, and supper is as Appalachian as it gets: homemade dumplings swimming in creamy gravy. Simple and comforting.

Some folks chase fancy meals but those have never impressed me or tempted me. Around here, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southern Appalachia, comfort comes in a bowl, served hot after a long day and shared with the #BabySharks (Yorkie puppies). It's the kind of meal that slows time down and makes a rainy mountain evening feel just right.

Reminds me of my beloved grandmother who I always loved to cook with.

In Appalachia, food isn't just food. It's tradition, memory, and a little bit of home in every bite. #Yum

dumpling - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Wiktionary
I experimented with different ways to cook premade dumplings and accidentally invented the megadumpling.
Let frozen dumplings thaw in fridge; find they have coalesced; fry till crispy on both sides and serve with soy sauce (not shown).

I do love a good dipping sauce. Think – steamed vegetables, fried vegetables, dumplings, tofu, noodles, spring rolls, summer rolls, sizzling rice squares. The perfect sauce will lift a dish to new heights.

There are many varieties of dipping sauce, and the Japanese or Chinese style ones have their respective core set of ingredients. For Chinese it tends to be soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, Chinese vinegar perhaps, and some ginger and spring onions. Perhaps some chilli. This dipping sauce is another variation on that theme. So very very good.

A dipping sauce is perfect with these vegetable dumplings that I get from the Asian grocery in the freezer section – I put them in a flat pan with a little water and a little oil, and cover the pan. As the water simmers, the dumplings defrost and steam, and when the water evaporates they crisp on the bottom. Flip them over if you wish for a nice crispy top. They are also delicious steamed or even very gently microwaved.

They told me it was battery powered, all 3 spits (looks like only 2, I know) turn simultaneously - only available from international import via Greece, she said. Super cool looking.
