  • What to eat in NYC CHINATOWN! Today we try CRISPY Taiwanese food to Asian desserts like hopia and fluffy cheese tarts! Join Thrive Market today to get 25% off your first order AND a FREE gift: thrivemarket.com/CupofTJ
    Day in Chinatown Series continues! Every episode we feature a main course, dessert, and snacks to go because you can't leave NYC Chinatown empty handed :)! Today's main course we visit Taiwan Bear House, one of the most authentic restaurants serving Taiwanese snacks including crispy popcorn chicken, pork chop, and more! This is my favorite place to get a Taiwanese food bento to go!
    Next we try Pink Lady Cheesetart for fluffy cheese tart with Asian flavors like ube, sesame, matcha and more! We also headed to one of the oldest bakery in Chinatown to grab traditional desserts like hopia and mooncakes :). Finally, we HAD to get dumplings to go, it's $15 for 50 frozen chive and pork dumplings - can't beat the price! So cheap for all that food!

    Dumpling skirt recipe:
    Tsp cornstarch
    1/2 tsp flour
    1/2 cup of water
    Any vinegar - this helps make it extra crispy :)
    These dumplings I got were extraaaa thick and big so I added a bit more water and left the lid on longer so it will cook it thoroughly. Don't keep lifting the lid, once you put it on, leave it on there so it can properly cook! If you have a thinner, flatter dumplings, those will cook faster :)! Be sure to stir the flurry before pouring it onto the dumpling so there's no clumps of flour. My first dumping skirt was just one flat crispy pancake so don't worry if yours turned out that way too! The trick is to let the water evaporate and to properly mix in your cornstarch & flour. You can also just do cornstarch + water, the combination of everything above just helps make it extra crispy :)
    Dumpling sauce recipe:
    Mix of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar + water, minced garlic and scallions. Adjust accordingly! Make sure your sugar dissolves with the water! This sugar water is what will help balance the soy sauce and rice vinegar :)
    Most Chinatown dumpling restaurants will have frozen dumplings to go! This was definitely one of the best deals $15 for 50 😳!!
