Crispy Garlic Chive Dumplings Recipe (Guichai Tod) กุยช่ายทอด - Hot Thai Kitchen!

Don't let the amount of vegetables in this popular street food throw you off. I didn't love vegetables as a kid and I would devour these every time. Garlic chives, also known as Chinese chives, become so tender they almost melt in your mouth, and with the soft & chewy dough that is crispy on the outside...and the sweet & sour dipping sauce...oh man...these are a MUST try.
They are also perfect make-ahead appetizers. You can make the dumplings and keep them in your fridge, and fry them up when ready to eat. The dipping sauce will also last you a long time in the fridge as well.
There are two types of kanom guichai: the stuffed version, which is much harder, and these fried ones, which are much easier and quicker to prepare, and IMO they're just as delicious if not more because they are crispy! Oh yeah, and it happens to be gluten-free and vegan and all that good stuff :)
