Methamidophos pesticide has been detected inside a package of Chinese-made frozen “gyoza” dumplings—the second time that the pesticide has been detected in a product with packaging showing no holes or damage, the Hyogo prefectural police announced Monday.
The National Police Agency believes that the organophosphate pesticide entered the package in China and has notified the Chinese government of the finding. Police believe that the latest incident reinforces their theory that methamidophos entered the products in China before they were sealed.
I cannot post this too often. Ingest NOTHING made in China.
More on the benefits of Free Trade.

TOKYO — Japan and China will hold bilateral talks in Tokyo on May 7 to discuss measures to improve the safety of Chinese-made consumer products following a series of accidents stemming from defects and inappropriate ingredients, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said Monday.
The working-level meeting will be the second of its kind following one in Beijing in May last year and will be held on the sidelines of Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to Japan beginning May 6. During the meeting, the Japanese participants are expected to explain Japan’s consumer product policies, including strict preventive measures against accidents caused by aging products, which Japanese manufacturers are required to implement, the ministry said.
More China poisoning again...
DO NOT buy anything from the Chicoms that you would put in your mouth. Even if you don’t swallow it.
I pity those that don’t know how to make their own d@mn dumplings! You and I will most likely be the Last Women Standing. Maybe it IS time to thin the herd? :)
Basic Dumplings
2 cups biscuit mix
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes or 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, or other herbs, optional
Mix ingredients with a fork until well moistened, but do not over mix. Spoon dumplings into boiling chicken stock, or if making a stew, try to keep the dumplings on the meat and vegetables and not too far into the liquid. Cook slowly over low heat, uncovered. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer over low heat.
(Dumplings will have a biscuit-like texture inside when done.)
I wonder if this isn’t a Chinese Set up to make us all think that they actually care about what’s in their stuff.
Pre-Olympic P.R.
If you ask me.
LOL!
I am boycotting China & the Olympics. I refuse to buy toys etc from China anymore & am thankful my pets weren't harmed by them. Enough is enough & I am sick of China!
Umm, those sound yummy, but they’re not the dumplings referred to in the article.
Those dumplings would likely be made like this:
chopped garlic
chopped onion
chopped cilantro
ground pork meat or chicken
little bit of sesame oil
a bit of egg to bind
a bit of soy sauce
blend
place tablespoon on won ton wrapper
wrap
place tablespoon oil in skillet heat just slight of high and then heat
put potstickers in
brown both sides
pour water in skillet
cover
steam a few minutes til filling is done
this version more vietnamese, but on the basic idea, nonetheless.
dip in white or rice vinegar and soy sauce
Human or generic?

Hey I make my own dumplings too!
Yes, I know. Husband’s favorite treat is Chinese Take-Out. *SIGH*
But I only know how to make dumplings from my Grandma’s recipe. And I’m a D@mn Yankee! It’s amazing that I even know HOW to make a dumpling of ANY stripe in the first place, LOL!
I don’t go in for much of that ‘foreign food.’ I think ‘Chop Suey’ was as exotic as it got at my house while growing up. And then that was basically hamburger, chopped celery, cream-o-whatever-soup and those ‘exotic’ Chinese Noodles from La-Choy (brand), served over white rice. ;)
HOWEVER, the point that was lost on you (and most likely others to follow) is that we Americans can no longer FEED ourselves because NO ONE cooks from scratch anymore! Can your basic female Democrat look into her cupboard (if she even HAS one; if she even knows what the word ‘pantry’ means in the first place) and make a meal from two or three cans, possibly some pasta or rice, and a few fresh ingredients?
Nope.
And that’s the REAL pity. I mean, if we’re THAT hungry and need to buy frozen foods made in China of all places, why aren’t we gnawing the bark off of local trees?
Again, it’s a pity.
Thanks for posting. BUMP!
Of course you do!
The Few. The Proud. The Dumpling Makers. ;)
LOL! :)
Ewwww....biscuit mix!
I don’t allow that stuff in my house! :)
If I were to forget to make my dumplings with stew my crew would riot. They get mad if I try to pass parker rolls off on them if I am in a hurry. I love to cook so its fun for me...I am learning to can this year. I used to when my grandma was alive but I forget how, its that long ago.
I don’t either. I make my own. :)
All-Purpose Baking Mix
6 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt (or a tad less if watching your sodium intake)
1 & 1/4 cups vegetable shortening (Soon to be banned in all states by ‘The Food Police.’ *SMIRK*)
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in (banned) shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse corn meal. Store in a container with tight-fitting lid.
(Will keep for up to 2 months. Makes about 2 quarts.)
“I am learning to can this year. I used to when my grandma was alive but I forget how, its that long ago.”
Get yourself a copy of the ‘Ball Blue Book of Canning.’ You’ll be all set and won’t food poison anyone. Don’t buy it; ask your local Librarian. She’ll know what you’re talking about. :)
Heh. Kewl. I usually just mix the flour, baking powder, and salt as needed.
Good thing I’ve got all these cookbooks. It seems like half the time I go looking for recipes on the net I get stuff that uses this “mix” or that “mix.” Well what’s in the “mix”? I don’t do “mixes”!
Thanks! I have the canning jars already, just planting the garden now. Well I can’t yet, still sick but my husband & sons are. For once its nice to sit back & give orders!
Of course, these dumplings were imported into Japan.
As you think about that, recall that in ancient times, the Romans and others would catapult disease-riddled corpses over the walls of cities they besieged to sicken and kill the enemy. The Chinese know that history even if we obviously have forgotten it. Get my drift there?
On a recent visit to China, a friend spotted this ad in a Beijing newspaper. He sent me the photo with a translation of the ad copy.
Yes, you can now join the millions of happy and prosperous Chinese citizens taking advantage of the growing numbers of American and Western multinational corporations “outsourcing” their production to the hard-working and industrious people of China. This outsourcing has now spread to their food supplies and ingestible items. Since these firms pay us for gross weight – and this new weight will be pretty gross – and the stupid American government only spot-checks imported items in these categories (they just got lucky on the anti-freeze thing), it has opened an entirely new opportunity which our beloved Chairman is offering to any Chinese citizen willing to do a little of what the foolish Americans call “grunt work.”
Installing one of these state-of-the-art food additive production facilities behind YOUR hovel is as simple as clipping the coupon below and sending it to the address shown. Your production plant will be shipped to you in 4 to 6 weeks. Supplies are limited so don’t fart around. ACT NOW!!
These silly Americans have an expression we have “borrowed” and modified to describe this new and exciting venture: “Don’t give me any s**t.”
Our motto will be “We won’t GIVE you any s**t. But we’ll SELL it to you fools at a really great price.”
AND LOOK FOR A NEW DROP-DEAD MONEY-MAKER COMING SOON. SOYLENT YELLOW PROMISES TO BE BIG!!
AND YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT THE “CHERY” PERSONAL VEHICLE TO BE IMPORTED BY CHRYSLER IS SIMPLY A HORIZONTALLY MODIFIED VARIATION OF THE VERTICAL UNIT SHOWN ABOVE. WE SIMPLY SLAP AN ENGINE AND SOME WHEELS ON THAT PUPPY AND OFF SHE GOES! AMERICA’S VAST ILLEGAL POPULATION OUGHT TO SNAP THEM UP LIKE TACOS.
Just remember: You can NEVER go wrong with a grain, a fat and some salt for leavening.
People all across the globe have been living on that combination for centuries.
Maybe we don’t LOOK like Super Models, but we’re alive and thriving and able to reproduce more Republicans, LOL!
...and some chicken broth (throw in some backbone meat). Hmm...I’ve still got cranberries in the freezer. Chicken and dumplings anyone?

3 cups All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup water
Pinch of saltFilling:
1 lb. lean ground lamb or chicken

* 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
* 1 Tbsp oil

2. Easy!! ;)
Now wasn't that easy? You didn't even have to butcher a yak.
Seriously. It’s not going to stop. I wish people would figure it out.
Isn’t that what Doctor Hu travels in?
Probably better to ingest nothing in cans or bottles made outsie the U.S., Canada, Britain or Mexico.
Our local grocery store is full of frozen fish and shrimp from China. I will not buy this and I told the grocer why.
I’m not excited to buy the Thai shrimp either.
Do you remember the story of Marisa when she had to make a
Hala Turkey? lmao! It came complete with the head & feet & some feathers! And she asked me how to cook it...rofl!
Dip turkey in gasoline.
Roll in bacon bits.
Place on tines of pitchfork...
flick your bic and heave flaming turkey into mob of angry Muslims.
She had to use a saw to cut the head & feet off. I was laughing so hard. I told her she had to clean the insides out too but she refused to do more then pluck the feathers. I told her to toss it & get a frozen turkey but it was too late. I truly laughed until tears came into my eyes. She didn’t have a sawzall & no woman should be without one. I will never forget her howling to me on the phone, mommy I can’t do this! Needless to say she came for leftovers the next day as she didn’t eat the Hala turkey!
Salts dont leaven. Salt is used in baking as a stabilizer and a retarder. Chemical leaveners like baking soda or baking powder leaven as does yeast in it’s various forms.
Mmmmm! Your recipe sounds great!
For our dipping sauce I combine rice wine vinegar, soy, a touch of sugar, fish sauce (nam pla- stinky stuff - but good!), finely shredded carrots and red pepper flakes.
There’s a huge Hmong population in St. Paul and that’s their accompaniment with fried spring rolls and dumplings. Delish!
Too much trouble that recipe you have.
Just get the little flour wrappers
Mix ground pork with celantro
Put a little bit in the wrapper
Fold and pinch the edges
Cook in boiling water
Then fry them up a little bit.
But, not wanting to go to that trouble and seeing that we have a pack of frozen ready made ones, I just put on the pot of boiling water and soon they will be mixed with a little vinegar and hmmmmmmm goood!
What are you going to do with the rest of the day? /s
“I cannot post this too often. Ingest NOTHING made in China.”
I even refuse to purchase products for my dog that are made in China. It’s hard but I am able to still find products. But it is becoming harder and harder.
Even my dog’s Dental Specialist sells dental chews that are a product of China.
Mmmmm, those were good! Now to have a serving of California strawberries (complete with pesticide inside them).
Read the description of these dumplings which are exported from China to Japan and America:
