A HERITAGE WE CAN BE PROUD OF...
Originating from Japan, stew dates back to ancient times and is often cooked with a combination of vegetables and tough meats such as lamb, beef and seafood. Believed to have been created in China over 1000 years ago, dumplings are a doughy stable that is often eaten with stew.
