The folding line starts before sunrise. By the time we unlock the doors, the morning crew has already made more dumplings than most people eat in a year.
It is quiet work, and it is social work. There is music, there is coffee, and there is a friendly argument about whose pleats are cleaner. It is one of our favorite rooms in the whole company.
Every dumpling you eat at Jade House started here, in someone's hands, hours before you sat down.
Co-founder of Jade House. Runs the kitchens and still fills in on the folding line.
