Comfort Food Recipes with chopped garlic (optional if you do not like it)

Black fungus (white back) and Chinese chives dumpling

Two types of pork dumplings—one filled with minced pork mixed with soaked black (white-back) fungus and fried garlic, the other with pork mixed with chopped Chinese chives and garlic—each crowned with a shrimp piece. They’re wrapped in wonton skins, boiled until tender, and best dipped in aged black vinegar.
