Two Little Dumplings, Slingerlands, NY Videos

Chive & Egg Dumplings - Filled with nourishing homegrown chives and pasture raised eggs (🥚 thank you, River and Rail Farms ). Serving them hot at the market stand this Saturday, 6/22. You'll notice in the folding video demo that we give the skins a little stretch before filling the dumpling. During the summer, the humidity and temperature affect the size, shape, and elasticity of our dough. To make the dumplings hearty, we expand the skins to accommodate more filling 😋 #twolittledumplings #farmtotable #dumplings #dumplingfolding #eggs

Many of you enjoyed seeing the demonstration of how we do the braided or leaf-shaped dumpling fold for our Lunar dumplings so here is another of how we fold several of our dumpling flavors, such as the Wakame & Yuba dumplings featured here, with the S-wave shape. While we’re on the topic of Wakame & Yuba dumplings, here’s a little more background about this flavor as well. It is certainly an adventurous flavor, as we have never come across anything like it elsewhere! These vegan dumplings are packed full of earth's nutritious goodness from land and sea. Wakame, also known as seaweed, is often used in soups and salads in Asian cuisines. It’s a deep green vegetable that is wonderfully full of vitamins and minerals like potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants just to name a few. This dumpling gets an added protein boost from yuba, also known as tofu or beancurd skin, and bright green edamame. Naturally sweet carrots and mung bean vermicelli round out the filling. The rich umami flavor of seaweed is enhanced with miso paste and five spice. These dumplings make us feel refreshed when eating them and we hope that you’ll give them a try! #twolittledumplings #dumplingfolding #dumplings #potstickers #dumplinglove #eatdumplings #jiaozi #518eats #518food #518foodies #feedme518 #capitalregionfoodies #518bitesnsights #upstatenyfood

How we fold our Lunar Dumplings Every Lunar dumpling receives 16 pinches to complete the fold, which is double that of our classic dumpling fold. Can a machine replicate this? Not in the near future. Learning this craft of folding dumplings has been a joy and exercise in stamina. There's deep satisfaction in creating beauty in the mundane. Not going to lie - a 1,000 pieces later, our hands are cramped. #twolittledumplings #dumplingfolding #dumplings #potstickers #frieddumplings #dumplinglove #eatdumplings #jiaozi #518eats #518food #518foodies #feedme518 #capitalregionfoodies #518bitesnsights #upstatenyfood

What we mean when we say, “handmade”... This video doesn’t include: the work of making the dumpling filling, freezing the folded dumplings, labeling/packaging/sealing the dumplings, and let’s not start on the dishes 🍽️! We hope this footage gives you a better idea of how much we care about serving our customers with food from our hearts. We pour a lot into a little product and we hope you taste the difference. Our family has had conversations about whether to move towards automating more of our dumpling making because the repetitive work is physically taxing, especially the folding. However, we have yet to discover a way to ensure that the quality of the filling (all the textures and array of flavors we make) and the beauty of the final product can be replicated by a machine. Plus, there’s something remarkable in the state of flow achieved while making and perfecting hundreds and hundreds of dumplings. #twolittledumplings #theprocess #handmade #stateofflow #dumplings #potstickers #frieddumplings #dumplinglove #eatdumplings #jiaozi #518eats #518food #518foodies #feedme518 #capitalregionfoodies #518bitesnsights #upstatenyfood

Happy Mid-Autumn Moon Festival! Thank you for all the mooncake love and support this past month! There are moments when it seemed like it was the wrong idea to take on something so time consuming but we remind ourselves every time why we do it. It is a joy to make and to share these special foods with our community. Our final mooncakes this season are now available for pre-ordering on our website: https://twolittledumplings.com/collections/dumplings for pickup at the Delmar Farmers Market tomorrow, 9/30 between 9am-1pm. #twolittledumplings #autumnvibes #fall #happymidautumn #snowskinmooncakes #midautumnfestival #mooncake2023 #mooncakes #mooncake #mooncakefestival #snowskin #happymidautumn #handmade #518eats #518food #518foodies #feedme518 #capitalregionfoodies #518bitesnsights #upstatenyfood #518 #albanyny #aroundalbany #upstateny #capitalregionny

Following up our previous reel about how we make the filling for our Classic Vegan Dumplings, here’s a short video documenting how it all comes together! We hope these glimpses of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into every product that you bring home helps you feel more connected to us. We pour our lives into creating nourishing and delicious foods, and by doing so, we are able to share our story with our community.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! While we're not open this weekend for pickups, here's a little video we made of how we make the filling for our (mostly) 💚 green Classic Vegan Dumplings! We chose to document the production of this dumpling so you could get a glimpse at how much 💚 goes into the making. Not included were all the prior steps of washing, chopping, blanching, frying, and more. While vegetable ingredients often cost less than meat ones, vegan fillings are usually the costliest in time ⌚ to make and fold (as we will demonstrate in tomorrow's reel!). Based on feedback from all our customers - our veggie based dumplings are winners and we'll keep making them for your enjoyment! #twolittledumplings #stpatricksday #eatgreen #vegan #asianveganfood #dumplings #jiaozi #potstickers #guotie #dumpling #dumplinggram #dumplinglove #crispybottoms #518eats #518food #518foodies #feedme518 #capitalregionfoodies #518bitesnsights #upstatenyfood #518 #albanyny #capitaldistrict #capitalregion #capitalregionny

Thank you to everyone who participated in our 2nd year anniversary celebratory specials and especially to those who donated bags of dumplings. We brought donations to one of the @freefoodfridgealbany fridges located in Schenectady. Our family thought it was so neat how this fridge on Fehr Ave. is solar powered! We are so touched by your willingness to partner with us and to help us share our dumplings with more people! #twolittledumplings #thankyou #thankful #connect #community #loveyourneighbor #potstickers #crispybottoms #dumplings #dumplinglove #handmade #comfortfood #fromustoyou #weloveourcustomers #518eats #518food #518foodies #feedme518 #capitalregionfoodies #518bitesnsights #upstatenyfood #albanyny #capitaldistrict #capitalregion

We entered the farmers market scene in June with anticipation, hope, and loads of jitters. We were not sure how it would go but we took that step forward and you took us by the hand and walked with us through our whole first season. We received only warmth and kindness from everyone on the Delmar FarmersMarket board, its vendors, and all the market visitors. You all not only embraced our existence, but also celebrated it with us week after week. Whether you stopped by our stand to just say “hi,” waited in long lines under beating summer suns, or helped to hold down our tent and catch our paper slips during sudden wind gusts - we felt supported every step of the way. Even more, we felt connected. Branching out from our online business by having a physical presence even once a week was worth the preparation for every Saturday these past 16 weeks. Here are some of the wonderful words we heard from you: A mother to her toddler boy - “Come try your first bao!” 🥰(Oh, how we loved being part of your firsts!) All the wonderful valiant attempts to name our menu - “Bow? Cha soo? [Text: Cha Siu Bao] Am I saying that right?” 🥰(Don’t worry, we can’t pronounce most Italian menus) Trying new things - “I don’t usually like ___ , but I’ll give it a try!” “What is that? You know what? I’m going to go for it!” 🥰(You made us smile with your adventurous appetites!) The affirmations - “We love having you here.” “My friend told me about you guys and how I had to come!” “I finally made it to you!” “This is for your girls!” [Hands us two large gifts…later opened to reveal toy Care Bears] “Do you guys have a restaurant? You need to!” 🥰(Your words lifted us up on the hottest, coldest, and weariest of days) Thank you for helping us to grow, to learn, and to be a part of your community. In just a few weeks we’ll be reopening our online store for pickups - we’ll be sure to update with more details soon! #twolitt
