I made a thing

[xxx109bradpittfanxxx109]

Pot Stickers / Dumplings / Gyoza / there's too many names for this

To spread awareness of Camp Quality Hong Kong, a charity which supports children diagnosed with cancer, I decided to make vegetarian potstickers!

Camp Quality Hong Kong is a bit of a stretch when it comes to Brad Pitt's charity donations, but it's partnership to Kiehl’s as well as Brad Pitt makes for way for a delicious meal.

Now, I already had most of the ingredients in the recipe so I didn't bother to go out grocery shopping for the other ingredients. I just improvised with what I already had, and hoped for the best.

So no cabbage, no cilantro, no sesame or neutral oil (I already had olive oil). I subbed out sherry for balsamic vinegar instead, and for the soy sauce I just used my calamansi soy sauce.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons neutral olive oil = to make more healthier

20 chives, finely diced = instead of green onions

1 garlic, minced

3 mushrooms, finely diced

1/4 red bell pepper, finely diced

1 carrot, shredded

Salt

Ginger powder = I ran out of actual ginger

Chilli

Pepper

2 tablespoons soy sauce = I used Calamansi soy sauce

3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar = instead of sherry

1 teaspoon sugar

Gyoza wrapper

1/4 cup water (60 mL) for sealing

The garlic granule is a lie.

Its actually chilli.

And always had been chilli.

Preparation

I finely dice the vegetables and grouped them together according to the recipe. I put the onions, garlic, chives, and ginger powder in one bowl. I didn't have any green onions so I put in some chilli in the bowl instead. Then I prepared another bowl and filled it with the mushrooms and bell pepper. And a third bowl for the shredded carrot and sprinkled salt and pepper on it.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat.

Add the onion, ginger, and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent.

Add the mushrooms and bell peppers to the pan. Cook until the mushrooms are softened.

Add the carrots, salt, and pepper.

Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until tender, then remove the pan from the heat. Set aside to cool completely. Once cooled, I added the soy sauce, sesame oil, cooking sherry, and sugar. Mix well.

Add a spoonful of the vegetable mixture to the center of the wrappers. Dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of the dough. Fold the dough over the filling, pleating and pressing the edges together to seal. And for extra measure, I folded the pleats over to secure the fillings inside.

I was feeling lazy and didn't want to wash more dishes, and since I already had a steamer, I just put the pot stickers in there.

I steamed them for 20 minutes to really cook the wrappers.

And voila!

And just serve with any choice of dipping sauce.

Honestly? It turned out better than I expected. But I think I needed to steam it a bit more since the wrapper was just a bit thick and chewy in my opinion.

Overall, pretty good 👍👍

I want three Oceans movies.

A sequel to Ocean's 8

A sequel to Ocean's 13 that's also a sequel to Ocean's 9

A prequel movie involving Frank Sinatra doing a heist. Could have a young Danny Ocean, maybe some callbacks to the original 1960s movie.

The 'you shook sinatra's hand' arc words in oceans 13 makes me want that last one. Like bubs they turned off the lights in Las Vegas when he died. All the casinos at once. The city when dark for a full minute.

They stopped all the gambling for that full minute.

I watched the Ocean's trilogy and all I can say is that Ocean's 12 was like the Cars 2 of the Ocean's universe

first of all, the Ocean's movies are my comfort movies especially Ocean's 11 and there is something UNDENIABLY homoerotic about Danny and Rusty's relationship I'm sorry

like they are always staring each other in the eyes and talking softly to each other and finishing each other's sentences like wtf are y'all about to kiss or somethin 🙄

They literally know each other better than anyone...like I know it's about his relationship to julia roberts but rusty is def danny's piece on the side

just reminds me of this meme lol

While I know that this song fits perfectly with Ocean's 13 does anybody else think it would perfectly fit into an adaption of gotham city. Like it has all the glitz and glammer of it, but deep down, its a shitty town? Just me? I'll walk myself out.

You think this is funny?

Saved post from old blog 9/?

*an Anon asked me if I liked heist films*

I love heist films! Ocean’s Eleven and Thirteen are two of my favorite movies. To Catch a Thief? Love it. Catch Me If You Can? Classic. 

And I’ll admit, I’d watch a lot of them and think *How would I do that* or *that’s a nifty trick to keep in mind*. And some of them are just fun to watch. But I am all about heist movies. 

Now I just watch them, but back then? Entertaining research.
