Brooklyn Dumpling Shop’s “Famous" Peanut Satay Sauce Recipe

A restaurant that's popular in New York City opened its first Texas location this week. Brooklyn Dumpling Shop brings its quick-serve concept to Deep Ellum.

Customers can order online or in person at a kiosk and then pick up their order in a locker from what's called an automat. 

The menu has traditional dumpling options and some unexpected creations like buffalo chicken and pepperoni pizza.

Its founder shared the recipe for one of its specialties.
