To make a delicious and tender dumpling filling, you can follow these steps:
Choose the right meat: It's best to choose a combination of fat and lean meat, such as pork belly or pork shoulder, which is more tender and juicy.
Meat cutting: Meat is cut into small pieces and then minced into minced meat. Be careful not to chop too finely and maintain a certain graininess, so that the taste will be better.
Marinating: Put the minced meat filling into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and other seasonings, stir well and marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Add vegetables: Depending on your taste, you can choose to add some vegetables, such as green onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, celery, etc., chop them and add them to the meat filling.
Stirring: Stir the marinated minced meat and vegetables well until well combined.
Whip water: Pour an appropriate amount of water into the minced meat, which can be water, bone broth or stock, to help increase the tenderness and texture of the minced meat.
Seasoning: According to personal taste, you can add some spices or seasonings in moderation, such as star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, Sichuan pepper, etc., to increase the aroma of the meat filling.
Stir and refrigerate: Put the mixed meat filling in the refrigerator for a period of time to allow the meat filling to fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning and make it taste better.
During the production process, you can adjust the amount of seasoning according to your own taste, and you can also add some other seasonings or spices according to your personal preference.
