Soup Dumplings (Asian)


Soup dumplings are one of those foods where they are so delicious but also very risky at the same time. If you eat them while they are still hot, be careful because, as the name suggests, the soup in the dumplings is extremely hot usually. I have had incidents where I would burn my entire mouth because of the hot soup exploding into my mouth and scalding it. I also have many friends that have scalded their mouths because of soup dumplings.

Story

 One of the stories is a couple of my friends and I went to a local Chinese place in my town. We ordered the beef soup dumplings as a sort of appetizer for our meals. It doesn't take long for them to come in a steam basket, and you could just tell they were fresh off the steamer. So my friend had the bright idea to grab it with his bare hand and just sucks it into his mouth. Once he did that, he instantly regretted it. The super hot dumpling popped into his mouth as he sucked it into it, and lets just say, the wall was covered in the soup from the dumpling. He ended up going to the hospital with second degree burns on his tongue and the walls of his cheeks. If this story doesn't explain to you to be careful when eating them, then I don't know what to tell you. 

How to Eat Soup Dumplings

You should eat soup dumplings with a special spoon or with chopsticks. Make sure when eating the soup dumplings, you don't just eat the whole thing at once, or else you will end up like my poor friend. What you should do is take a bite of it from then top and blow on the soup from inside the dumpling, then suck the soup from the dumpling, then eat the rest. Hopefully this helps and just remember, stay safe and be careful!

 Dishes from Around the World Curry (Indian) Curry is an interesting dish full of flavor and with usually a vibrant color and overall, a delicious and amazing dish. I have only had Indian curry about three times in my life, but each time I have it, I want it more and more. Indian curry is like a buttery and creamy soup with thick chunks of meat, usually consisting of pork or chicken and also has coconut milk and cream added to it to make it more flavorful and thick.  Story A story of the time I had curry was when my sister still lived with me and my mother. I come home to the smell of something delicious, something I have never smelled before up until that point. It was like heaven when I walked into the house. I then walked into the kitchen and see this pan full of this orange like soup. I asked my sister what she had made, she tells me it is Indian curry. I have never heard of Indian curry up until my sister said something about it. She let me try a spoon full of it before l...

 Dishes from Around the World Sushi (Japanese) Sushi is one of my favorite dishes in the whole world! The vibrant colors, the tasty combinations of flavors, the delicacy and careful handling is what makes sushi so appetizing. Sushi is a roll of seaweed usually filled with rice and whatever else you would like, most commonly fish or a different protein along with vegetables or fruit. My personal favorite sushi roll is a fried sushi roll with avocado, crab, and jalapenos.  Creativity and Appearance The sushi roll is another one of those dishes that can be experimented with. It offers you so much to combine along with giving you the chance to be creative. Some ways you can do it is by cutting it and putting caviar (fish eggs) on top or with a vegetable garnish like cucumber or carrots. A roll of sushi should always be packed tight, and each cut should be about an inch in thickness, any bigger and you will have a hard time fitting it all in your mouth at once.  Assembly/Proce...
