Those crisp bottoms are exactly right. Ugly pleats are still good dumplings — my first twenty looked like envelopes.

The glaze looks properly glossy. Next time add the spring onions in the last thirty seconds — you will keep the crunch.
Great colour on the chicken. I would toast the peppercorns a touch longer for that numbing edge.
Mapo Tofu“Used mushrooms instead of pork — the texture still worked. Added extra pepper, no regrets.”

Mushroom version looks convincing. Did you use shiitake? I want to try the same swap.
