Recently some of the Serious Eats team went on a tour of a noodle and dumpling factory located in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Inside, it was kind of how you'd expect a dumpling and noodle factory to look: large machines of dough rollers and dumpling crimpers (more on that in the slideshow). The sweet smell of alkaline egg noodles filled the air while we walked around the facilities in white coats, hairnets, and wader boots.

The best part? Grabbing freshly steamed dumplings straight from a giant dumpling conveyor belt! Take a look at the dumplification process.
