About Dumpling Haus
Elaine grew up following her dad around in the kitchen in Guangzhou, China. Her father managed the cafeteria of a warehouse where he worked with many people from Northern China who taught him how to make food from their region including dumplings, traditionally a Northern Chinese dish due to the abundance of wheat grown in the cold climate. Every Chinese New Year people eat dumplings, whose shape resemble ancient Chinese gold ingots, for the first meal to represent prosperity and wealth in the coming year. Her family loved eating dumplings, and every week Elaine sat around the table with her father and brother making dumplings, one rolling out wrappers, one wrapping dumplings, and one cooking them.
After moving to the USA, Elaine tried finding dumplings that reminded her of the ones she had back in China, unfortunately she could not find them. She began making dumplings of all varieties and inviting her friends over to share in her cooking. Elaine had the chance to share her favorite dishes at Dumpling Haus’s first pop-up at a local coffee shop in 2016. Since that first pop-up, Dumpling Haus has partnered with local watering holes, farmer markets, and city-wide events to share the joy of eating handmade dumplings made with the finest ingredients!
