【Mian Geda Soup】
by MaomaoMom
Mian geda soup is a very popular dish in China. Similar to Gnocchi, mian geda (means dumpling knots in Mandarin) is made from very soft flour dough and dropped in various delicious soups.
In a blazing cold winter day, a bowl of mian geda will warm you up from head to toe. This past Saturday was quite cold. After our grocery shopping in the morning we arrived in home already noon, so I made this quick soup with some pan-fried potstickers for lunch. What a treat!
