Just wanna let you guys know that Adam is the winner of Masterchef Australia 2010.

THE Bob Ross of cooking. Thank you so much for making cooking inviting and stress-free.

Thank you for explaining and teaching clearly using descriptive language instead of cliche and rhetoric.

This is the kindest soothing cooking video I've ever seen. I'm both educated and relaxed at the same time, my chakras are aligned and I found my inner peace. Thank you! ♥

Aged vinegar sauce video...yes please!

You're an instant hit, Adam. I watched one video and I was hooked. You're calm, nice and likeable. Your love for cooking really shows (your eyes are smiling) so I had to subscribe. Congrats and thanks!

Uncle Roger putting Aussie Adam on the world map

I'm Chinese and I can tell you guys who are watching that this is exactly how we make dumplings, my grandma is from the north of China and she folds her dumplings exactly that way...I've watched a lot of videos about how to make dumplings and this one is by far the closest to Chinese tradition.

I've lived in China for almost 10 years and one of my first experiences was with a family where we all together participated in making 饺子...that's Chinese culture! Some were boiled carefully and some were fried carefully. Carefully, I mean that when done, they don't stick together when served....and oh yes, served with a side dish of a special vinegar mix for dipping...there's no other flavor out there that tastes better! Yumm!!

I've just got to say, I love watching your videos. They are just nice to watch. It's not edited like an action movie like the Food Network does it, and it's not a cringy feel good homestyle style either. It's just calm, relaxing, and informative.

Fantastic! Yes, pls share your black vinegar recipe. Always enjoy watching your videos, and learning - thanks so much!

Thanks for a great video! Subscribed~ I've been struggling to make dumplings JUST RIGHT. Every time they seem to be... lacking compared to the ones I've been eating in Korea, China, or Japan. I feel very encouraged by all these tips, and now that I have a stand mixer, I'll tackle it again with your recipe :) (And of course, we all want your black vinegar recipe)

Yes! The more condiments (for lack of a better word), the better. I find that even though Chinese cooking does not use a wide variety, what is used is sometimes not available where I live Oklahoma, USA. So the more you can show us to make the more we can cook! Thank you!

man, your voice is total asmr. i was introduced by uncle roger and thought i would leave after like a few seconds. But i stayed. Jesus mate, u r godsent

Thanks Adam, looks like a great new series! You're a born teacher, through and through. Just happens that you're also thoroughly entertaining to watch too! :)

Love everything about this. Thank you Adam!

Now that was a master class in dumpling making.

Adam. I just want to stay thank you for putting to rest one of my food fears. I've always been somewhat scared to attempt dumplings because this are usually attached some story or history of being such a perfectionist type item but this video and just your demeanour and communication skills have really encouraged me to give these ago. I'll tag you when I finally give them a go.

I genuinely appreciate how accessible and easy Adam makes Asian cuisine for everyday people. Even for someone like myself who is fairly kitchen savvy, having a calm and likable presence walk you through the basics of a new cuisine and teach you tips and tricks about how to get the best results is priceless. Props to you, Adam!

I love that fact that you went into so much detail and explained the food science behind it all. Right up my alley. Thank you 🙏🏻

You are absolutely one of the best cooking channels on KZfaq

Who are the monsters who disliked this nice guy

Just wow. As an Aussie I know of you, but this is my first KZfaq video, and it was lovely, and relaxing, and informative, and clear, and calming, and friendly, and man have you just given me my next binge channel. What a communicator. Thank you Adam.

I love that you explain the technical theories of what you do, cause thats what helps to understand what is happening while you are cooking, and why there are certain steps that you must follow and respect while doing it. Thats the thing that i like the most in cooking videos. I had to subscribe, love your calm personality and voice too. Love from Argentina!!!!

Wow thanks Adam. This is the School for me! I have tried Chinese dumplings a few times and the have sort of failed every time. My wife even says in front of other people, “James is a really good cook, but he can’t cook dumplings.” Your patient instruction in this series will get me past this bête noir!

Best cooking training videos on KZfaq. You rock Adam!

Thank you so much! I’m an Oz ex-pat currently living in Korea. We love dumplings but looking forward to stepping up to make our own rather than the store bought ones. Love all your technical/science explanations, great knowing the why as well as the how.

Really cool. When I was visiting my wife's family in HK we took a cooking class and made dumplings. I've made them a few times over the years but there were little things that I didn't know to do like squeezing the water out of the vegetables. Great series. Glad I ran across them.

This is AMAZING ... KZfaq MasterClass right here !

I've been making dumplings for years and years. . . yet I learned a lot from this video, thank you

10:40 Wow! Finally someone who could explain the mystery of folding dumplings! The brilliant trick is the "keep one index finger straight and curl the other"". I lived in Xi'an China for 7 years and never really mastered the fold. While my Chinese friends could fold perfectly, and tried to show me ow to do it, not one of them mentioned the "index finger trick"... They did it intuitively and probably never even noticed they were using that trick. I did notice the shape of their hands that kind of looked like the symbol of respect that martial arts people give each other just before the match. Anyway, I tried this "index finger trick" and had an "ah ha!" moment. The bit on folding Jiaozi was worth the price of admission on its own. Thank you, Adam, for the entire video. because it was filled with useful little tips... but thank you in particular for "the index finger tip" while folding.

my wife also makes the hot water dough all the time. She also boils schezwan peppercorns in a little water and adds the water to the filling mix. The mixer is a great idea, mixing by hand can be grueling. Thanks for making these videos, you are great!

My experience with hot water dough for making pierogi, is that it makes the dumpling much less brittle in the freezer. Pre-gelatinizing the starch is a good thing.

Wonderful series Adam, thank you very much...! Looking forward to it. And YES, please do a vid on the dumpling sauce.

There's so many moments of profound cooking wisdom in your videos.

Such a positive energy is coming from you to us!! thank you!!

OMG!!!! I love this new series. You're the best

Your video was referenced in Uncle Roger dumpling video as correct dumpling making. I'm so proud as an Aussie right now.

I love the way you do your videos, instead of just listing steps you go into the why of each step and the important part of it, and what can be changed.

My first attempt of making dumplings was terribly poor, after that I kind of got disappointed but tried again a few months later, and after that I tried multiple tutorials and started to learn my preferences for fillings and seasonings, but I always had a problem with my dough, no matter what way I tried, nobody taught me the "2:1 flour and water" golden ratio, (but I tried playing with the temperatures) and I didn't left the dough a bit on the sticky side so my dumplings always had a chunky looking outside, with the wrappers looking not even close to those store bought (I can't buy wrappers because in my country dumplings aren't even a thing, people could go all their lives without tasting or even seeing a dumpling here), now I feel more complete, I'm inspired to make dumplings again tomorrow! Thank you so much for your teachings, is like you filled all the holes in my knowledge of how to make dumplings. Although I'm always alone when I make them bc my family isn't interested in my attempts to learn Asian cuisine, I'll give my all to have delicious dumplings for a whole month lol.

I’ve been trying to find a good video about how to make dumplings all day, and so far you’re the best one! I think I’ll stay with you, cheers!

Love these ultra high quality video tutorials, one of the best cooking channels I've ever seen.

Adam you bloody legend, I think you've got to be one of my favourite food presenters. Watching your stuff through the years has always ALWAYS been a joy.

I'm already loving Dumpling School!

Your voice is so relaxing. My mum fell asleep when I threw this on the tv! Haha

I'd love to see your aged vinegar sauce that sounds amazing! Thanks so much for passing on such amazing recipes.

This was super helpful. I wanted to cook something new for the first day of the new year and these hit the spot. Really explained bits that other recipes left out, particularly the not having to pleat. You saved my sanity. They were pretty, but my dumplings were very, very tasty.

Wow... you’re great. I love how easily you talk about what you are doing and how simply you explain everything. Keep doing this great work!

Your videos are like therapy to me. I enjoy every second of them. Thank you Chef!

I think we would all appreciate a video on making various dipping/seasoning sauces. I personally mix some soy sauce, sugar and a tsp of sesame oil to dip

This is the BEST demonstration that I have ever seen on Dumpling making,and basic filling.

I really like the vibe and your personal stories of your grandmother. It was relatable. I had a wonderful experience watching you make dumplings. You did it in a way that I believe I can do it to. Thank you

Loved your fried rice series, super excited for these dumpling videos! Would love to learn your black vinegar, soy sauce, sugar mix

Easiest tutorial for dumplings I’ve seen so far.

this is one of the best dumpling vid on youtube authentic straight to the point and well edited.

This is awesome. This dumpling folding technique is the same as my mums technique. The few times I've tried to help my mum fold them, I've always failed, it may look easy but it's actually difficult. My mum said it takes practice if I want to make it right. My sister lended me 2 of Adam's recipe books after I moved out, as I don't really know much about cooking. Adam's recipe books have really helped me learn and build on my cooking skills. Watching Adam's videos are really inspiring and it motivates you to keep learning and improving. I really appreciate Adam's thoroughness in explaining all the little details as he guides you through his cooking process. One of the best chefs out there! Thank you for sharing your useful cooking tips and recipes!

Black vinegar recipe would be great! Look forward to this series,

Yes, please show how you make the dumpling sauce! I‘m sure it‘s going to be as good as your homemade teriyaki sauce 😁

Amazing. For real. Not just the recipe, but the way he did, how he talks. Amazing.

Absolutely fantastic! By far the best video I've seen to make dumplings. Looking forward to more.

"Making dumplings alone is relaxing" Till your nose itches. Then......then its torture.

i thank uncle roger for introducing me to this man and his incredibly soothing voice 😌🙏

Brilliant method - a natural, relaxed teacher.

Thanks so much for this video, Adam. Dumpling school is exactly what I need. I love how informative your video is.

I loved the explanation about the "science" behind mix the filing alwais in the same direction . I belive this is the sabe explanation about cake batter and the gluten chains, right?

Just relax sit back and make, a couple hundred dumplings

This is my first Adam Liaw video... I’m in heaven. Love it. Easy enough for anyone to make. And I love the music and video skills. Great. Thank you!

You have the gift of teaching, the way you explain everything, including some history and facts about the dish! I just finished making this jiaozi recipe and its in the freezer now, will cook it tomorrow! I’ve been eating store bought jiaozi for many years, and this is my first time to make it, because of the lockdown :)

Can you show how to make homemade fish balls? 🤤

Did you say secret aged vinegar sauce! Yes please

You create such a beautiful, relaxing ambiance-thank you so much for your dumpling series.

Thank you for these videos! I never comment on KZfaq but I found your video really easy and nice to watch. Can't wait to try these!

If you come from Uncle Roger's Weijio 👇🏻

Uncle Roger approve his dumpling indirectly 🤩🤩

Crazy excited for this series! Keep up the amazing content Adam!

These are the best looking dumpling skin I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing!!

Uncle Roger the godfather of dim sum, brought me here.

The dislikes are people who messed up their dumplings

Love dumpling school! One of my favorite things to do is make dumplings, and just love watching you cook, so this is perfection!

This is bloody fantastic, best dumpling how to video I have watched so far thank you! I have already made a first batch of dumplings before watching your video, and I can already see what's to improve my technique. Can't wait to see more and i can't wait to make more dumplings myself!

Intro starts : *Hannah Montana theme song intensifies*

Uncle Roger brought me here!

I love your pleasant cooking style. I am in the US, but I grew up in Japan and somehow your recipes are very much in tune with how I cook now. Made number Japanese inspired recipes from your books and they always come out very well. Forming pleated gyoza or jiaozi is second nature now for me. But, I like how you use both thumbs to curl the dumplings. I have to try that with boiled dumplings. Keep doing what you are doing. Rinshin

I already love this! As always you are an incredible teacher.

Hiyaaaaaa

Give a thumbsup if you come from uncle roger's weejio 👍🏻

This is amazing! Quality content every single time, you deserve so much more! Thank you, looking forward to the next videos.

This video reminded me of when I used to make homemade pasta with my great grandmother, expecially the part about folding the dumplings in the right way and tasting the filling, whether they were tortellini, cappelletti or caramelle I used to eat them on the spot if they didn't turn out well and I always went home feeling so full. I wish i could go back

This is gold! I really like cooking shows with explanations! Thank you!

Adam; I am a 73 yr old retired USAF Chinese Linguist who is enthralled with your knowledge and charmed by your gentle manner. Thank you so much for explaining the method of Asian cuisine in simple, accurate terms so many more folks may enjoy the nuances of it!

You explain everything so well. The best teacher!

Thank you Thank you Adam .YOU ARE THE BEST. What a great teacher.

I'm so happy I found your channel teacher! The quality of your videos, my days...thank you.

Thabnks for making this video i lived on china for 6 yrs and now i am home and if its one thing i crave the most is jiaozi, i had it 3-4 times a week so filling and fulfilling and i miss it the most! Thanks again!

Adam, I absolutely love watching your videos. You make food into art. Idk if you try but you come across to me like watching my mama cook as a child and learning so much. It's so soothing to watch you cook and the way you get the camera to catch the most beautiful parts. Just...amazing. Thank you for sharing and thank you for the amazing food! :)

Dumpling schooool! 🏯👨‍🎓 super pumped for this 💪
