After starting out ‘confident’, it wasn’t long before Poh was plagued with problems, with the potato filling taking longer to cook than she anticipated.
Five minutes out from the end of the challenge, she then realised she didn’t have enough filling to make five dumplings.
‘I have enough filling to do two smallish dumplings. I know they’re not going to be plump and amazing like I thought, but I just can’t serve up one dumpling,’ she said.
