The Best Fried Pork Dumplings for the Holidays

In Chinese culture, dumplings are a symbol of wealth, prosperity and family unity. Cross your arms over each other to grab the wrappers and spoon in the filling, causing the dumplings to multiply per second. They are versatile and vary in preparation methods and filling types. No matter how they're prepared or what they're filled with, they're a celebratory meal and a chance to see who can pack the picture perfectly. This not-so-secret family recipe (sorry, Dad) is the perfect way to ring in the New Year—the Lunar Year, that is. And although they're often served at this celebration, they're far too delicious to eat just once a year.
