egg dumplings
Stuffed wrapper parcels
Egg dumplings are a Chinese preparation where beaten egg is formed into small wrappers, filled with seasoned meat (typically pork), and folded into crescent shapes resembling golden ingots.
They're traditional for Lunar New Year celebrations, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.
Unlike flour-based dumplings, the wrapper is entirely egg: We made egg dumplings for the reunion dinner.
