Ever wondered how we fold our Formosa dumplings? 🥟

It starts with the filling, then comes the fold — one by one, shaped by hand with those little pleats that give our dumplings their signature look.

Fold, pleat, seal. Repeat.

Then straight to the pan, cooked until golden and crispy, and finally served hot to your table. 🔥
Simple steps, but every fold takes a little practice and care.

This is how we make dumplings at Formosa.
