Make Your Dumpling Dreams Come True For Brendan Pang, MasterChef Australia alum and founder of Bumplings restaurant, it all started in his grandmother's kitchen, where one bite of Grandmere's Fried Shrimp Wontons sparked his lifelong dumpling obsession.

Inspired by his family's Chinese and Mauritian background, Brendan covers classic Chinese-style dumplings and playful new creations.

It's easy to make your own dumpling wrappers from scratch, or start with store-bought and dive into the art of shaping. No experience or special equipment necessary! With Brendan by your side, there's no need to fear making dumplings at home. Boiled, steamed or fried--the only thing better than that first bite of a juicy dumpling is knowing you made it yourself.
