    From Andrew's chaotic vibe, and Alvin's chill demeanor, Kendall's absolute cinnamon roll of a personality really ties together the mood triangle.

    I think you should have done soup dumplings, filled with only tomato soup, and served with a fried cheese "dumpling skirt" underneath. This way the filling is soup, rather than pizza roll filling, and you get the flavour of the grilled cheese (the part that escapes the grilled cheese sandwich and becomes crunchy)

    • @RidleyJones
      @RidleyJones Před rokem +5

      Agree, and/or have the cheese layer inside separated by enclosing another small dumpling inside the bigger one, which contains the soup. Also incorporating scallions would have been cool.

    I think it would have been better had you done this based off of Sheng Jian Bao rather than Xiao Long Bao. It's a yeasted pan fried soup dumpling which holds a lot better when fried and has a more bread like chew. I can definitely see it working with a tomato soup and cheese filling. YUM

    If you would have put cheese between two wrappers and then used that to wrap the soup. It would have been more like a grilled cheese with tomato soup. Instead of the cheese and soup combining inside the dumpling. But your idea to fry it was definitely the right move.

    Going by the premise that a dumpling can just be anything with something stuffed in it, you could always try little croustade filled with your cheese & tomato filling. Plus it lets you play with a croustade iron, I love frying & playing with mine.
    At the beginning of "lock-down" I was toying with filled pastas. The one people seem to like the most was my breaded & fried, Philly cheesesteak raviolis. It had everything a cheesesteak needs, bread, steak, onion, peppers, cheese, ketchup and mustard. You can do them as large or small as your skill & desire tell you. A few large ones on a plate can make a satisfying side or starter.

    Anyone else remember the grilled cheese uncrustables that they actually used to sell next to their PB&Js? Those things were GREAT!

    They looked delicious. I am a fan of tomato soup and grilled cheese. Nicely done, Kendall!

    4:40, nearly spat my coffee at my unassuming iPad. I work for TJ’s. Also, you’re not wrong. We do have a Philly cheesesteak Bao bun, after all. And soup dumplings. I legit would love to see a kind of tomato soup/grilled cheese grillable/air fry kinda deal. Hot pocket maybe? Props!
