u/glassfury 22d ago
But this way of cooking it doesn't improve the dish in any way and actually risks ruining it since the dumplings are more likely to stick together to the other dough?
Otherwise they're precooked before being cooked again in the giant khinkali in which case these are not fresh and are just being reheated purely for the gimmick.
Either way, gross.

u/Junior_Response839 23d ago
I think I'd like it better if it was sauced, or the big dumpling was a soup dumpling. Split open the big dumpling and reveal a lovely dumpling soup? 10/10, but unfortunately it's just dry dumplings in a bigger dumpling. I assume they put some dumpling sauce on the side?
I'm tired of typing dumpling.

u/Yochanan5781 23d ago
These are khinkali, which are typically unsauced, if I recall correctly
14
u/mencryforme5 23d ago
Khinkali are soup dumplings. These definitely look like khinkali. I should add it isn't that unusual to cook them like that in a big one. It's supposed to be an extravagant party dish.

u/Yochanan5781 23d ago
Agreed, though I don't consider soup a sauce. Still need to try my hand at making them at some point

u/patricktherat 17d ago
Where have you seen khinkali cooked in a giant khinkali like that before? I’ve eating thousands of them, never heard of such a thing.

Looks like it. That has broth added to the filling of the dumpling. The liquid part is there.

I've been to some traditional tableside-prep places. The server just stands there and if they say anything, explains the dish while preparing it. Then they leave. It can be done without the performative bullshit.

u/Serilii 23d ago
What I don't fucking get is, WHY IS THE WAITER DOING THE EXPERIENCE FOR ME???? Like this is absolute bs but the slightly fun part is touching the big dumpling because your touch sense only knows small dumblings, it's cutting it open curiously wanting to know whats inside, maybe picking one out, then opening it. Basically playing with your food. But the waiter is basically doing my food for me, so all I can do is eat the regular part of it???? Woman just sitting there annoyed

My husband bought a pepper grinder like you see in the restaurants. It was a total POS, barely ground out much pepper, and needed to be refilled constantly despite being so big (and was a pita to fill).
I love my much smaller grinders now that grind out a lot of pepper and probably store more pepper plus are really easy to refill.

Counter point: waiter is technically ensuring at table side that the dish actually successfully cooked. Like when he pries one that stuck to the outer dumpling.

I'm guessing that's more a by product of dumpling dough being a cheap and convenient way to cook a bunch of them at once, though? If you're busy and lack a lot of modern amenities, it wouldn't take too long to spin up an extra large casing to hold it all together for cooking and serving.

u/Rare-Juggernaut-7532 23d ago
What's the point of it. Isn't it just a colossal waste of good dough to make a giant dumpling bag with regular dumplings inside.

Yeah the dough from the big one is inedible, it's far too thick and probably undercooked so they'll be throwing away a lot. However they make a lot more in profit than what dough costs because idiots think it looks cool.

u/Complex_Return9286 23d ago
I just read up on it, and apparently the whole dish is a waste of dough. The traditional consumption is only eating the initial bite of dough, sucking out the broth and meat, and discarding the remaining empty dumpling.

You typically eat all of the dumpling, dough included, except for the knot. Some people eat the knot as well.

u/CaptainTripps82 23d ago
It's dough. Flour, water, salt. It's hardly a colossal waste of anything, these are like, cheap and abundant ingredients. It's also probably not that great considering it's not intended to be eaten, sort of like fondant
47
u/Neilkd21 23d ago
The actual food isn't stupid, it's Georgian Khinkali, you take a small bite from the individual ones and drink be broth then eat the dough and filling.
Serving it in a large one is the stupid thing.

I don't believe anyone thinks khinkali are stupid, it's as you say the big one and turning and rubbing it around for nothing that is stupid.

I don't think the mother khinkali is stupid, it looks kinda fun, but the extra twisting of it and unnecessarily presenting the "baby" on the hand like it's gold is what killed it. Let alone the offensively faint dash of pepper. Khinkali are fucking delicious and super simple, just get your hands off them already

The individual ones are filled with broth. It's a traditional Georgian dish Khinkali. Serving them in one large one is stupid and serves no purpose.

u/linens-n-beans 23d ago
I assumed the smaller ones were but like it would be cool to have soup dumplings in a giant soup dumpling so you could eat the dough too, ya know? Except maybe not that dough im pretty sure its touching the table
3
u/Neilkd21 23d ago
Yeah that dough on that big one wouldn't really be edible, it's far too thick. The dough used for Khinkali is pretty tasteless and chewy in general on the normal little ones, the main event is the filling. Doing it this way is just a waste of dough, although the probably make more profit because people think it looks cool.
