Dough Zone Dumpling House, Redmond

As the name implies, the malleable mixture of flour and water that forms the basis of many breads and pastries plays a pivotal role in the Chinese cuisine at Dough Zone Dumpling House, namely in the signature bao dumplings. These stuffed buns envelop the likes of pork, beef, crab meat, or veggies and can be served by themselves or as part of a savory soup. They can come pan-friend for a crisp exterior, boiled for a soft, crumbly body, or steamed for a spongy texture. The cooks' prowess with dough also extends to noodles, which can deliciously tangle within beef stew, meat sauce, vegetable dishes, or spicy sauces.
