Dumplings are a dime a dozen, or so you'd think. Finding great dumplings is harder than it seems, so I jumped at the chance to check out newcomer Xu Xu's Dumplings, stationed at 5610 Food Co, aka the ghost kitchen right off I-35, so that's a bummer. The location sucks but at least there's parking.
All you can get are dumplings, and for plant eaters like me, only mushroom dumplings. No matter: they're excellent and don't leave me wanting for more. Better yet, you can buy them two at a time, for just $1 a piece, easy to budget for small or large cravings. These are boxy Taiwanese-style pot stickers with a genuine sear on the bottom. Their chewy skins give way to a juicy, umami filling with notes of ginger, garlic, and white pepper; classic, understated, and effective.
Definitely spring for some hot chili oil for dipping and you'll have yourself a solid little snack.
