to be honest she is truly level 3 chef. King's dumplings are not made as beautifully as hers.

Charlene easily a level 2.5 dumpling chef, bordering on 3, for bringing out her own chili oil and the way she rolls out the dough, and fills and folds her dumplings. Her way of cooking and making her dumplings speaks to me on so many levels. She should return for the other 4 Levels series when it comes to Chinese dishes, *_if_* she feels comfortable making them

@roguefever

The way she mixed the filling was super authentic too; she mixed it only in one direction, which aligns the muscle fibers to give the filling a more tender mouthfeel. King did not. King's assembly technique was also extremely lacking, imo. Kind of sad that no one did any dat, though. Or at least, it wasn't shown.

Only reason shes level 2 is that she’s not a “professional”. But her skills are definitely up there. She sounds like she knows her culture, so authentic

I feel like this episode more than any other; Level 2 and pro chef are actually on the same level but in different contexts. Until Chef King got to the soup (the pigs feet had a delightful street food vibe) I felt like Charlene was giving the authentically best recipe. Though she's young she has probably made dumplings specifically as many times as Chef King has, since she would have spent a number of years making these as a toddler with a parent or grandparent, and very little else until older; compared to King with his (presumably) later start and MUCH broader skill study. I felt like I could have been hearing Charlene from my 90yo Japanese friend when she describes and self-narrates as she makes Gyoza. It felt like a closer experience than Chef King.

If you pay attention, you can in fact acknowledge that Charlene is the only one amongst the three who s not adding garlic to the filling. And that s the traditional Chinese way, as no garlic generally goes in to the filling of Chinese dumpling (a lot of ppl munch on raw garlic cloves while eating dumlings or noodles there). Also xiaolongbao (traditional Shangainese soup dumpling), King s recipe, usually don't contain garlic. Charlene was the best at dumplings, she had the right moves, the right techniques and definitely a strong cultural background.

​@@sergel02 Food can be science. But I would argue science is hardly the most important thing about it. Food is also about community, emotion, and care. (a home cooked meal from a loved one will be more enjoyable and be more nourishing than one that is made by a machine who uses perfect technical execution.) That is to say it means something when we know someone has put love and care into food. And this is not just mushy talk, but speaks to physiological effects of mental health and social needs. And food is culture, creativity, and communication. Good food tells the story of the people who make it, and creates a relationship with you who eats it. It doesn't matter necessarily that the food be "perfectly cooked". Although it doesn't hurt either. Also consider how unsuccessful molecular gastronomy has been as a movement in food. Even though boasting the use of science to maximize technical aspects, it's never caught on to be any more than a niche fad. I would argue because it is deliberately disconnected from community and history.

king is honestly not that experienced in dumpling making. i can tell bc i'm a hongkonger and i grow up eating dumplings everyday. xiaolongbao is the most challenging dumping to make (even harder than western tortellini in my opinion) as the folding part takes years to master and you can easily find clips of properly made xiaolongbao on youtube. you can clearly tell a difference. plus how king rolls the round wrapper in a round shape seems more amateur than i do. just genuine facts i promise. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gYGZudiIgtXHqM4.html here's a professional making xiaolongbao just fyi

So fun to watch and all three were amazing and so great to see each different method. It's also good to remember that if you are making them for yourself that the method of cooking and the stuffing may differ for individual taste. Yes of course there are more traditional methods and ingredients but it's also good to have some fun and experiment with recipes to suit your own taste or style of cooking, as long as you are respecting where the recipes origin, it's always fun to see what you can do with different experimentations of recipes.
