[ASIAN AMERICAN FAMILY TRIES EACH OTHER'S DUMPLINGS]

[亞裔美國家庭成員們品嘗彼此做的水餃]

Hi, I'm Danielle.

嗨，我是 Danielle。

- Hi, I'm Micah.

- 嗨，我是 Micah。

- Hi, I'm Joelle.

- 嗨，我是 Joelle。

- Hi, I'm June.

- 嗨，我是 June。

- Hello, I'm Howard.

- 哈囉，我是 Howard。

- Growing up in San Francisco as a Chinese and Korean family, we definitely ate a lot of dumplings growing up.

- 作為在舊金山長大的中韓混血家庭的成員，我們對水餃可說是知之甚詳。

Now I'm challenging my family members to each make their own individual dumplings and then we're gonna have a taste test to see who's is the best.

今天我要挑戰我的家人們，讓大家各自做出屬於自己的水餃，然後再試吃來比較出誰的是最棒的。

- My dumplings are unique, because they look like little clams, like little ocean bivalve situation.

- 我的水餃很特別，因為我把它們做得像一顆顆小蚌殼，彷彿在海中的貝類一樣。

I don't know what I really put in them.

老實說我也不知道我到底放了什麼餡料進去。

I really aim more for the aesthetic, and hopefully they taste good!

我比較著重在外觀上面，希望吃起來也和看起來一樣棒！

- So this one is Danielle's, which is sort of obviously by the ruffle.

- 從餃子邊緣的荷葉邊一看就能明白，這個肯定是 Danielle 做的。

I think it's very cute, but not Chinese or Korean.

看起來是很可愛啦，但絕對不是中式或韓式的傳統樣貌。

- These look like Uncrustables.

- 看起來簡直像是無邊三明治。

So I can't say that's particularly appetizing.

看起來不是特別讓人有胃口。

However, I shouldn't judge just on aesthetics.

但我不應該只看外表來決定。

- Give it a good grade for the way it looks.

- 光憑外觀的話，我能給個高分。

- But Danielle always does this and I always make fun of her for it, so whatever.

- 不過 Danielle 每次做菜時都這樣，然後我也總是拿這個來笑她，所以隨便啦。

- It definitely looks like she threw some kimchi in there, 'cause it's kind of pink.

- 從看起來有點粉紅的這點來看，她應該放了一些泡菜進去。

It's interesting, because to fold it this way, you have to add less filling.

有趣的是，這種包法會讓內餡變得更少。

- There's like lots of like loose skin.

- 感覺周圍很多額外的水餃皮。

- I would say this is a pretty good dumpling as well.

- 我覺得這水餃真的還蠻不賴的。

I taste the pork first and then I could also taste a little bit of the chives.

我先是嘗到豬肉的味道，然後還有一點點的韭菜。

- This tastes like only pork.

- 感覺只有豬肉的味道。

- I like this one.

- 我喜歡這個。

She adds some kimchi for the spice, which I like.

她加了一些泡菜來增添辣味，我很喜歡。

I do wish she were heavier on the shrimp though and not the pork, 'cause it is just kind of like a little meatball.

但如果她能放更多的蝦仁而不是豬肉的話就更好了，因為這水餃吃起來有點像是個小肉丸。

- I feel like it didn't have like the normal soy sauce, sesame oil.

- 我感覺裡面沒有放正宗水餃應該要放的醬油和芝麻油。

Yeah, it just doesn't taste Asian, but it tastes fine.

對，吃起來不像正宗的亞洲菜，但味道不錯。

- I give it a solid eight.

- 我給八分。

- I think maybe a six, only because I don't like the skin flaps.

- 我覺得大概六分吧，主因是我不喜歡多餘的水餃皮。

- An eight or a nine, I really liked it.

- 滿分十分我給九分或八分。我真的蠻喜歡的。

- Five to six.

- 五到六分吧。

- Mine has a little bit of everything.

- 我在水餃裡包了各式各樣的東西，什麼都來一點。

It's just like a solid pork dumpling.

基本上就是個紮實的豬肉水餃。

I also think that mine are folded really nicely.

我覺得我包得形狀很好看。

I actually made it for myself for lunch today, and I thought they were pretty good.

其中有一些我拿來當今天的午餐吃掉了，我覺得挺好吃的。

Taste good with soy sauce.

和醬油很搭。

I think they're cute.

看起來也很可愛。

- It looks good! It's got a little bit of design to it.

- 看起來好棒！看來包的時候有花點心思在外型上喔。

- It's like a four fold situation.

- 看起來是摺了四次。

Isn't it like the more folds, the longer you live or something, no?

不是都說摺越多摺就能越長壽還怎麼樣的？沒這個習俗嗎？

- It looks like she includes some veggie, which is good, 'cause Micah doesn't normally like vegetables that much.

- 看起來裡面包了一些蔬菜。這點很棒，因為 Micah 平時沒有很喜歡吃蔬菜。

- Taste good.

- 味道很好。

- I like it a bit, flavored a little bit better. Seasoned better.

- 我喜歡，我覺得這個口味更棒。調味得更好。

- Tastes like a meatball texture.

- 口感有點像是肉丸子。

- The seasoning is very light.

- 幾乎沒什麼調味。

I kind of wish she included a little bit more spice, maybe some more like soy sauce or ginger.

要是她能再加多一點調味料就更好了，加點醬油或是薑之類的。

I can definitely taste a lot garlic.

我能吃出來裡面有很多大蒜就是了。

- I taste mostly pork, so it's pretty one dimensional.

- 主要都是豬肉的味道，讓口味有點單調。

- I wouldn't change anything about it. I think it's pretty good.

- 我覺得沒有什麼需要改進的地方。挺不錯的。

- I think it's like a seven.

- 差不多七分吧。

- I like it with the sauce, maybe a nine.

- 搭配醬油很讚，所以我給九分。

- It's kind of bland. I'd give it maybe like five?

- 有點太清淡了。我會給大概五分左右？

- A seven.

- 七分。

- My dumpling is just a classic rendition.

- 我要用經典手法來呈現我的水餃。

I added a lot of different types of seasonings.

我加了很多種不同的調味料。

Obviously, salt and pepper, but also ginger, garlic, and my secret ingredient is truffle.

鹽和胡椒顯然是必備的，但我也加了薑、大蒜，還有秘密武器：松露。

- I can automatically tell who's everybody is by the way they fold their dumplings.

- 我光從包法就能看出水餃是誰做的。

- So this is dad's.

- 這肯定是老爸包的。

- And I like these the most, 'cause they have the most filling, so.

- 我最喜歡他的水餃了，因為他的餡料總是包得最多。

- I'm excited to try my dad's, 'cause I know it'll be very heavily stuffed, but I also saw him put a lot of like very strange seasonings that I don't know if they belong in dumplings.

- 我對試吃老爸的水餃感到非常興奮，因為我知道這些水餃的餡料非常紮實。但我也看到他放了一些我不太確定和水餃搭不搭的奇怪調味料進去。

- It's really sticky.

- 好黏牙喔。

It's like stuck to the roof of my mouth.

它直接黏在我的上顎了。

- My dad used a food processor to blend everything together.

- 我爸用了食物調理機來把所有東西都攪在一起。

- I like seeing the chunks of stuff in it to know that it was like sort of made by hand rather than put in a food processor.

- 我比較喜歡能看到塊狀的原料，這樣比較有手工製作的感覺，而不是把什麼東西都丟進食物調理機裡。

- So I don't really love how it tastes.

- 我不是很喜歡這個味道。

It's... The texture's a little too mush.

它... 口感有點太鬆散了。

- I actually think it's pretty good.

- 我其實覺得還不錯欸。

I don't know why I'm so surprised.

真不知道我怎麼會這麼驚訝。

There's just like a lot in there.

裡面有很多的餡料。

- I just think there's a little too much going on.

- 我覺得味道有點太雜了。

I can't really tell what the distinct flavor is.

讓人搞不太清楚主要的風味是什麼。

- I don't know how to feel about this one.

- 我不知道該怎麼評價這個水餃欸。

Maybe I'll give it like a seven.

大概七分吧。

- Five out of 10.

- 十分裡面我給五分。

- I would say it's an eight out of 10.

- 我覺得十分裡面八分吧。

- I would give it a five out of 10, but since I know Howard made it and he never makes dumplings, I would say for effort a nine out of 10.

- 十分裡面我給五分，但既然這是 Howard 做的，而且他從來沒有做過水餃，作為對他努力的獎賞，我會給九分。

- In my dumplings, I like to include a lot of vegetable, and honestly, the less meat, the better.

- 我喜歡在我的水餃裡加入很多的蔬菜，然後老實說，肉類越少越好。

I like seafood in mine, so I added shrimp, but no pork.

我喜歡海鮮水餃，所以我加入了蝦仁來取代豬肉。

I also like a lot of different seasonings, so I used five spice, I used XO sauce, and of course, soy sauce and sesame oil.

我也喜歡用上一堆不同的調味料，所以我用了五香粉、XO 醬，還有必不可少的醬油和芝麻油。

And hopefully, it tastes all right.

希望吃起來味道不錯。

- Nothing extraordinary about it, but looks fine.

- 看起來沒什麼特別的，但也沒什麼問題。

- Nice folds.

- 包得很好耶。

- The traditional way to wrap things.

- 這就是傳統包東西的方法。

It's supposed to look like gold nuggets, I think they call it ingots that the Chinese people use to trade.

水餃看起來應該要像是金塊，也就是中國人過去用做貿易的元寶那樣。

- Mm, there's a lot of kimchi.

- 嗯，裡面放了很多泡菜。

- This one's a lot chunkier.

- 這個好像包得比較大顆。

- It doesn't have the traditional flavor profile that I'm looking for.

- 還是沒有我尋求的那種傳統的味道。

I can't put my finger on it.

我找不太出來到底問題出在哪裡。

- It's a little spicy.

- 有點辣。

More spicy than I like, because it has kimchi in it, which sadly I don't like that much.

有點超出我喜歡的辣度，因為裡面有包我不是很喜歡的泡菜。

- There are lots of vegetables, lots of kimchi, which I like.

- 裡面有好多蔬菜和一堆泡菜。這點很棒。

I think it's pretty flavorful.

我覺得味道很豐富。

- It feels very healthy.

- 感覺很健康。

- I would want more meat and more garlic.

- 我會想要更多的肉和大蒜。

- Out of ten, I would give it a good seven and a half.

- 滿分十分的話，我會給個七分半。

- Six.

- 六分。

I keep noticing how spicy it is.

真的是越吃越辣。

- I would rate it an eight out of ten.

- 滿分十分的話我給八分。

- Seven point five.

- 七點五分。

- I think I made them the traditional Chinese way, the way my mother made them and she's from Shandong province, which is known for all their dumplings and noodles.

- 我用的是母親教我的傳統中式做法，而她來自以水餃和麵食聞名的中國山東省。

I added also a little bit of tofu, which is more an element that my Korean mother-in-law introduced to me.

我也加了一點點豆腐，而這個元素則是我的韓國岳母教我的。

And I made homemade wrappers, instead of the store bought wrappers.

我自製了水餃皮，而不是用現成的水餃皮，

- I'm the most excited to try my mom's, because she made these skins by hand.

- 我對老媽的水餃最期待，因為她的水餃皮是自己手工做的。

- Such a luxury to be able to make homemade skin, so I'm really excited.

- 能夠自製水餃皮真的是很奢侈的一件事，所以我真的很期待。

Obviously that means they don't look as perfect, but I don't mind.

當然這代表這些水餃在外觀上看起來不會太完美，但我不在意。

- I hate to say it, but it looks the worst.

- 我不想這麼說，但這水餃從外觀上看起來是最糟的。

It looks kind of wimpy and there's no real form to the dumpling.

看起來有點軟趴趴的，沒有水餃應該有的形狀。

- Tastes like ravioli.

- 吃起來像義大利餃一樣。

- Hmm, this has a very different flavor.

- 嗯，這個味道非常不一樣。

She didn't use any kimchi, at least not that I can see.

她沒有用任何的泡菜，或至少我沒有看到。

I can definitely taste like the five spice seasoning that she used.

但五香調味料的味道非常突出。

- I feel like it has the right level of juiciness.

- 我覺得這個多汁的程度剛剛好。

I don't know, someone like Danielle's were like a little dry.

怎麼說呢，像是 Danielle 做的就有點太乾了。

- It feels like a harmony of textures.

- 各種風味相當平衡地融合在了一起。

- It's not really that flavorful, which is why I think it tastes like ravioli.

- 沒有什麼味道，所以讓我覺得吃起來像是義大利餃一樣。

- I don't like the flavor profile of mom's either.

- 我也不喜歡老媽做的味道。

It has to be a nice balance of both meat and some of the vegetables.

整體的味道必須是肉和蔬菜的完美平衡。

I like a little bit of heat.

我喜歡多一點點辣味。

- I think the skin is really doing a lot for it.

- 我覺得這個皮真的立了很大的功勞。

- I'll probably give this like a nine.

- 我大概會給這份九分吧。

- I give this kind of a low score, six.

- 我給這份偏低的分數，六分。

- I think it's probably a nine out of ten.

- 我覺得滿分十分的話，我大概給九分吧。

- I think a six for dumpling, but a nine for ravioli.

- 以水餃來說六分，但以義大利餃來說九分。

- Yay, I won! The traditional Chinese flavors taste the best!

- 耶，我贏了！傳統中式風味是最棒的！

With the handmade, homemade skins.

還有加上手工自製的水餃皮。

Thank you!

謝謝你們！
