It is way too much work to make dumplings! 
I don't think any working woman will want to
attempt this formidable task.
As a kid, I'd to help mom wash the bamboo leaves one by one, then
change water, and repeat the washing process, plus chop up the
ingredients, and keep stirring the spices and meat in the wok (she
makes Nonya chang). Then mom will wrap and then boil the chang over
the charcoal stove and made the kitchen in the old shophouse so
oily.
