Third time's the most charming for Jacob and the Youth Group @congregationbethelnj. Famed for their creative dumpling shapes, they've crafted dumplings for themselves, for their community, and for the food insecure over the last year. Their dumplings are tasty and unique, proof yet again that beauty and substance can coexist. #dumplingsforgood #dumplingdiplomacy #dumplingdiplomat .#kosherchinese

Hairnets never looked so cool! In honor of Filipino American Month, this stylish bunch made siopao monggo (steamed buns with red bean paste) and siopao asada (steamed buns with pulled pork) for Dumpling Day of Service. These yummies were provided to the food insecure by @tonis.kitchen. After all, a stuffed bun is really just a giant dumpling... #dumplingsforgood #dumplingdayofservice #dumplingdiplomacy #filipinoamerican

Thanks to a generous gift from El Club del Sabor, the Spanish club @metuchenhighschool, we are launching "EL DÍA (Diplomacy In Action)" later in the year. This series of workshops will bring the larger neighborhood to some of our newest Montclair arrivals... in their own language. We look forward to working with Ms. Karin Flores and her students to provide eyes, skills, and heart into each other's communities. #dumplingdiplomacy #youdonthavetobeasian #teenpower #dumplingsforgood

Culture handed down from mother to daughter, gifted to the community. Ella & Chrissy, and our interns from @essexcountyschoolsoftechnology hand made over 100 beef samosas for our Pay It Forward Cafe. Forsaking pre-made wrappers, they rolled out house made dough, stuffed each pastry, and put a firm seal on each before frying them to golden brown deliciousness. Oh, while they were there, they shared their family recipe for 100 portions of sambar. All in (just part of) a day. #dumplingsforgood #dumplingdiplomacy #thepayitforwardcafe #samosas #sambar

A bounty of freshly harvested bok choy waiting for its next act: dumpling filling! Sustainably grown at the Our Lady of Mount St. Carmel community garden by the @neearthcoalition. Graciously donated by @jose_german_gomez . Produce doesn't get more local!

And we love the @pennclub_metro_nj. Eight of these talented @uofpenn alumni hit max velocity of 1 dumpling made / person / minute or 60/hour. For benchmarking purposes, the highest standard for professional dumpling makers is less than 100/hr. Impressive for a group of mostly first timers. Their lovely dumplings were donated to the food insecure @tonis.kitchen. ♥️ Photos: Ommer Khaw #dumplingdiplomacy #dumplingsforgood #dumplingdayofservice
