Today is the winter solstice, and there is a saying that eating dumplings can prevent frozen ears, what kind of dumplings are you going to eat?Today I will share with you the recipe of leek-filled dumplings.
First of all, we have to prepare the ingredients for the filling:
500 grams of leeks, 500 grams of pork, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, thirteen spices, etc.
Personally, I think that when choosing pork, if you want it to taste good, it is better to have pork belly, because if it is pure lean meat, I don't feel that it is delicious enough. Leeks should be chosen fresh leeks. As a common and nutritious vegetable, leeks not only have a strong flavor but also contain a variety of vitamins and minerals.
Wash and drain the leeks, then chop them into finely chopped pieces to better blend into the dumpling filling. Next, chop the pork into minced meat and mix it with the chopped leeks. Then add a little salt, thirteen spices, add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce according to personal taste, and stir well to make the condiment fully penetrate into the meat filling. So that the delicious leek meat filling is ready.
In the second step, we mix the noodles, add cold water and noodles.
The noodles should not be too hard, because if they are too hard, they will be easy to open when cooking, and they should not be too soft and easy to deform. After mixing, let the dough rest for 10 minutes. After the noodles are risen, make them into dumpling wrappers.
The third step is to make dumplings.
On the prepared dumpling skin, take an appropriate amount of leek filling and put it on **. Then, gently press the edges of the dumpling wrapper and fold it in half to form a half-moon shape. Next, use both hands to gradually knead along the edges of the dumpling wrapper to create a folded shape. This ensures that the filling of the dumplings is fully wrapped inside the wrapper, preventing the filling from flowing out after cooking.
Finally, put the leek-stuffed dumplings in a pot and cook until they are cooked and removed. You can eat it with spices such as sesame oil, vinegar and garlic to add texture and flavor.
In addition to the traditional leek-stuffed pork dumplings, we can also innovate and try to create more delicious dumplings by pairing leeks with shrimp, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, etc. For example, mix leeks with tender shrimp to make refreshing leek shrimp dumplingsOr pair leeks with smooth and tender tofu crumbs to make fragrant and soft leeks tofu dumplings. These different attempts can provide a rich texture and flavor to your dumpling filling.
Overall, leeks as dumpling fillings not only add a unique aroma and taste to dumplings, but also provide rich nutrients. With reasonable ingredients and production methods, we can make a variety of delicious and delicious leek-stuffed dumplings. Whether it is a traditional taste or an innovative taste, it can meet your various taste needs for dumplings and bring you the ultimate enjoyment of your taste buds.
