Tonight: Thursday Dumpling Throwdown at Kong

When we dropped by Michael O'Halloran's Kong (702-704 N. Second St.) back in August, we got to check out his mother-in-law Ping (above) cranking out dumplings with the quickness. Tonight they'll celebrate their house specialty with a dumpling shindig of sorts. The NoLibs eatery is offering 10 different varieties of dumplings � three pieces a plate, just 50 cents apiece. Check out the wrapped-in-dough lineup after the jump.

  • Edamame and Tofu: Spinach dumpling wrapper, pan fried
  • Curried Vegetable: cabbage, edamame, asparagus, shiitake
  • Three Way Pork: Chinese bacon, braised pork, ground pork
  • Sweet Potato, Bacon and Green Apple maple-soy dipping sauce
  • Mongolian Lamb: pickled eggplant, toasted pine nut, fried
  • Beef, Potato and Cabbage: ground beef, grated potato, scallion
  • Shrimp and Pork Wonton: ginger and scallion
  • Chinese Duck Confit: with leeks and cabbage
  • Chicken and Shiitake: soy braised chicken and shiitakes
  • Philly Cheesesteak: Beef, caramelized onions, mascarpone
