Are there best surveys hot, cold, or room temp?

In reply to suchin. My favourite is a simple combination of black rice vinegar and homemade chilli oil. Otherwise, have a look at my post on Dumpling Sauces.

In reply to Louise. It's perfectly fine to mix Chinese chives with pork and shrimp (that's a classic combination). Happy cooking!

Hi!

I’ve used this recipe before and added fresh shrimp and it turned out great. I was wondering if I wanted to add pork and shrimp, do you think the results would still taste good? I enjoy the vegetarian version but my boyfriend really likes meat haha, thanks for your time!

In reply to Simo. Hi Simo! Happy to know you've enjoyed these pockets. You could freeze Chinese chives but they won't be good for stir-fry dishes in which you clearly see each ingredient (defrosted chives don't look great). That said, it's perfectly fine to chop them small and freeze in small portions for making fillings later on. Hope this helps.

thank you for the recipe, they are really delicious😋 one question though, I bought a pack of Chinese chives to try different recipes, but I do not cook every day Chinese, so do you think I can freeze it? (cutting before of course..) since they sell it in a huge amount and won’t use it all in once.
