This sampler of bestsellers comes from Top Chef alum Chef Shirley Chung's Ms. Chi in Los Angeles, and includes two standouts that highlight her passion for traditional northern Chinese-inspired Chinese American cuisine. In it, you'll get 20 wildly delicious Chicken Jiaozi dumplings and 6 giant Cheese Burger potstickers. The dumplings are made with ground all-natural chicken thighs mixed with Chinese five-spice, minced ginger, and scallions wrapped in a turmeric-colored wrapper (they also come with a side of Chiangkang black vinegar sauce and chili oil for dipping). The signature potstickers are made with Creek Stone Farm ground beef chuck roast blended with chunky diced onion and shredded cheddar (plus a cube of cheddar in the middle to give "the woozy cheese effect") then wrapped in an orange paprika-colored dough and served alongside a smokey-sweet bacon tomato jam. All in all, it's enough to serve 5-6 people (or, you know, 2-3 particularly dumpling and potsticker-crazed people).
