Verified stores from Belfast to Brighton now flag which chillers are stocked with fresh wrappers, so planning a dumpling night is as simple as checking the directory and building a pantry list.
Wrappers & dough
Grab both wheat and tapioca-based skins so guests can try chewy har gow alongside pan-fried potstickers—most stores label the origin so you can compare Hong Kong, mainland Chinese and Vietnamese brands.
Fillings that travel
Filling staples
- Fresh napa cabbage, garlic chives and lotus root for crunch.
- Frozen cuttlefish balls or prawns for speedy surf-and-turf mixes.
- Firm tofu, shiitake mushrooms and water chestnuts for veg-forward batches.
Pack everything into stackable containers so fillings stay chilled on the journey home, then portion them into bowls before guests arrive to keep the wrapping line tidy.
Sauce bar shortcuts
Mix-and-match ideas
- Black rice vinegar + soy sauce + ginger matchsticks for classic tang.
- Calamansi juice + fish sauce + chilli crisp for a Filipino-inspired dip.
- Sesame paste + chilli oil + grated garlic for a dan-dan style drizzle.
