Asian food night

On Saturday Snow invited 2 friends, CiCi and Lilly, over to the house.  Now Snow doesn't cook, but CiCi and Lilly do, so they decided to make us pork and Chinese dumplings.  Here is a similar recipe:

The three of them worked solidly for three hours creating one hundred of these artful little packets of pork, egg and Chinese (napa) cabbage.

Here is the finished product, served with a Chinese hot sauce containing salty soy beans - yum!!

Snow hid pistacho nuts inside several of the dumplings, giving luck to the person finding them.  Apparantly I am not very lucky, even though I kept trying my luck 'just one more time' before giving up with a full belly.

I also made shrimp Tom Yum soup which is a spicy Thai style soup.
