Lovely❤🎉 plesse, can you share the recipe?
Hetty you are a queen! Can’t wait to try this recipe ❤
I've made so many of Hetty's recipes, from her cookbook and the NYT app, I trust her completely now :'-) I always learn something new from her
These are vegan, yes? I don't see anything in the recipe that indicates otherwise.
Love her! Thank you for bringing her on to share one of her fabulous recipes!
So fun watching these come together – and what a beautiful recipe!
I've been reading McKinnon's books and recipes for years, but this is the first time I've heard her voice. Absolutely beautiful, on all fronts!
This is your best “week” series ever
Please do more videos with Hetty!! We love her and her recipes 🥰
More of Hetty please
Yay more Hetty plzzz
Hetty is so great. All of her recipes are fantastic.
So enjoyable to watch and you make it look so easy! 🙂
babe wake up – new nyt cooking fav just dropped!!!
Wow she is fab. Never heard of her. These are an undertaking but look super elegant!
A natural teacher and such a lovely personality!
they look lovely. does anyone know if that kind of dough is better for a diabetic diet than a flour dough?
You got Hetty Lui McKinnon on NYT! – Her cookbooks changed my home cooking and if you see this comment – BUY HER COOK BOOKS
Using a tortilla press for the dumpling dough is a galaxy brain move.
Ohhhhhh 🔥
0:57 love this!❤
My first time seeing this woman on NYT cooking. I think I’m in love. I want more of her. MORE MORE MORE….please
😆 I’m not sure she could be doing a better job with these, a really fabulous dish. If I ever find out she did this in one take, I will be pissed 🤣👍
"When you're making a recipe that belongs to your family, it doesn't belong to me, it belongs to my ancestors" – I love this.
Hetty always has this calming, inviting energy that always draws me to her.
More Hetty videos!
feels like this was targeted toward me because I was just thinking about what dumpling I could make today for the lunar new year that can be shared with my vegan roommate! And I have just about everything needed already (I'm missing the zhacai). Thank you Hetty and NYT Cooking!
Beautiful dumplings! Thank you for sharing 💜
Those are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 😍😍
This is such a great series – thanks so much for doing this.
What pretty dumplings. I'll probably try to make these but I need to buy so many of the ingredients. I'm going out for 🥟🥟 again on Friday because I didn't get my fill the week before. I've never met a dumpling I didn't like.
Thanks Hetty for sharing this delightful recipe for Gok Jai.
these are so pretty wow
Masterly crimping!

Seeing an Asian Aussie on here as one is so nice. Good to see us Asian Aussies making it out there.
Looking forward to see who else shows up on here for dumpling week. Hope to see someone representing Vietnam for Tet
You guys. The structure, the editing, the show of personality (in addition to instructional content) in this series. Yum! The brains and thinking behind this outfit is chef’s kiss.
Thank you! Great instructions for a treat the making of which has intimidated me for years!
