Northerners have a deep love for dumplings, and on the day of the winter solstice, a bowl of hot dumplings is an indispensable delicacy on the table. The whole family went into battle together, mixing noodles, mixing stuffing, rolling skin, making dumplings, and the dumplings just out of the pot were served on the table, and the atmosphere of the festival was born.

The winter solstice does not serve dumpling bowls, and no one cares about freezing ears. "Speaking of the tradition of eating dumplings on the winter solstice, it is said to be related to the ancient medical scientist Zhang Zhongjing. The dumplings were originally called "Jiao'er", and Zhang Zhongjing once used "Jiao'er Soup" to treat many poor people who were hungry and cold and had frozen ears at that time. Later, every winter solstice, everyone learned to eat "Jiao'er", and there was a custom of eating dumplings.

As for what kind of dumplings to wrap, everyone has their own preferences. However, there is a folk saying, "100 vegetables are not as good as cabbage". Chinese cabbage is the "main dish" in the winter season, it contains a lot of vitamin C and dietary fiber, and the chlorophyll, dietary fiber and other nutrients contained in the "cabbage gang" are much higher than the cabbage inner leaves and cabbage sum, so it is the first choice to make dumplings with "cabbage bangzi" on the winter solstice.

To complete a meal of cabbage-stuffed dumplings, the ingredients needed are: cabbage, pork, flour, green onions, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. Ground the pork into a meat filling, put it in a basin, add an appropriate amount of minced green onion and ginger and Sichuan pepper water, then add an appropriate amount of salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce and sesame oil, and stir in one direction until the meat filling is thick and strong. Wash the cabbage, drain it, chop it into minced pieces and put it in a basin, add an appropriate amount of cooking oil and stir well, then pour it into a basin with meat filling, add a little salt and stir. Mix the dough with warm water, stir while adding water, stir into a dough, knead into a smooth dough, and let rise for 20 minutes. Knead the proofed dough a few times, knead it into long strips, cut it into dumpling agent, roll it out into a round dumpling skin with a rolling pin, stuff it with an appropriate amount of filling and wrap it into dumplings. Cook dumplings every time the water is boiled and drenched with cold water, so that the water is poured 3 times, boiled 3 times, and the dumplings can be lifted out of the pot until the dumplings are all bulging and floating.

Northerners like to eat dumplings, southerners like to eat glutinous rice balls, if you eat a bowl of sweet and soft black sesame glutinous rice balls on the day of the winter solstice, it will be considered a complete success.

In addition to eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls, you also need to eat more beef and mutton meat and high-protein foods in your diet, fresh fruits and vegetables are also essential, and the choice of winter fruits is mainly based on mild vitamin-based fruits, such as apples, pears and oranges, etc., whether you eat directly or squeeze juice to drink.
