Ai Dumpling

Local mugwort is blanched with baking soda to keep the color vivid, pureed hot, and worked into dumpling dough, so these herb-scented green dumplings stay bright and tender with a distinctive springtime fragrance.

    Pour the hot water into the blender along with fruits and vegetables to make juice, leaving a little water in the pot for later use. You can also chop by hand, which generally gives a better texture than blending.
