Puff Pastry Tips from Dale! 

• “If you have time, it’s best to thaw puff pastry overnight in the fridge.
• If you don’t have time, thaw it on the counter until it’s pliable enough to unfold without cracking, but still cool to the touch. Keep a close eye on it — if the dough feels very limp, refrigerate it for 30 minutes to help it firm up again.
• One of the biggest mistakes you can make is leaving it on the counter for too long. A room-temperature atmosphere will cause the puff pastry to wilt and become floppy. That, in turn, will make the layers stick, and render it almost impossible to work with. If your puff pastry gets too soft, return it to the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes before moving forward.
• Lightly roll out the puff pastry: Dust the top of the puff with just a little GF flour, then use a rolling pin to lightly roll. Puff pastry should be rolled out to approx. 4-5 mm depth.
• Follow any puff pastry recipe, remembering that ALL pastry (gluten-­free or not) ­ bakes off flakiest when chilled for a short time before baking in a hot oven ie 10-15 min in freezer first after making your ‘creation.’
• If you’re making a filled pastry, like a pot pie, for example, cut a few vents in the dough so hot air can escape and circulate as it bakes. If you skip this step, and you’ll have a soggy interior.
• We generally egg wash pastry before baking to give it that yummy golden colour
• A very general rule for baking the puff pastry is the following – bear in mind that oven temperatures vary.
• Set the oven to 200° C (400° F – gas 6) and bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes to 25 minutes. Check after 20 minutes as it’s easy to burn the edges from cooking for too long.
• Scraps can be gathered up and be re­used. Make sure that scraps are layered on top of each other – not scrunched up into a ball, before re-rolling.”

Dumplings vs. Potstickers!
Dumplings are doughy on the outside and filled with vegetable or meat on the inside. Potstickers are an Asian twist on the concept; stir-fried so that they are crispy on the outside. No matter the name, if you are in the mood for a delicious pocket of gluten-free, doughy goodness, you’ll have your fill with House of  Yee’s Dumplings.

Cooking Instructions
Frozen when purchased, they are ready to eat in minutes. Instructional video on Google or Facebook

About Christine Yee, Founder
“My parents owned a Chinese Canadian restaurant in Regina, Saskatchewan. My dad would cook in the back with my brothers while I served in the front with my mom and sister. My parents were always at the restaurant, just trying to make ends meet. I have a lot of respect for people who run restaurants. It was a lot of hard work but it just wasn’t for me.

I went into real estate but one morning at 5am, I woke up and thought “I’m going to start a healthy food line” and somehow gluten-free dumplings just came to me. I went from real estate deals to researching gluten-free recipes.  A really steep learning curve.  It was like trying to build a house by yourself that no one’s built before, and then trying to sell it. I never realized it was so much work!

When the time came to name my business, I naturally chose House of Yee as a way to honour my hard working parents and grandparents. I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labour!”

“From hard times come small gifts. In the spring of 2019 we formulated our gluten-free flour and then sidelined the project. During Covid we couldn’t find our favourite gluten-free flour and everything we tried just didn’t measure up to our expectations in creating our favourite baked goods.”

“We pulled out the formula we created and made our favourite scones with it. We nailed it!! The quality, taste and texture were beyond our wildest dreams for anything gluten free. We then shared it with our valued customers and friends for feedback and their overwhelming positive feedback and encouragement led us to you!! We are so excited for you to try our flour for all of your baking adventures!”

• “We stopped in on Sunday and this place is great. At first we drove right past it, the outside doesn’t jump out at you as a restaurant. Don’t let that fool you, the food was outstanding. To me, the hallmark of a good/great celiac eatery is that as you eat your food, you would never know that everything is gluten free. Four of us weren’t celiac and the meal was delicious. Any time we venture as far north as Nanaimo, we’ll be taking a detour through Parksville to eat here, we barely scratched the surface of the menu.”
