First of all, we need to prepare the ingredients. Here we need to prepare the following ingredients: minced pork, celery, ginger, green onions, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, sesame oil and five-spice powder. These ingredients are very common, and I believe everyone has them at home. Okay, the ingredients are ready, and we can start making.
In the first step, we wash the celery and then finely chop it. This step is very important because the texture of the celery determines the taste of the dumplings. So, you must cut as fine as possible! Set aside the chopped celery.
In the second step, we have to mince the ginger and green onions. This step is also very important, as the aroma of ginger and green onions enhances the taste of the dumplings. So, you should also cut as fine as possible! Set aside the chopped ginger and green onions.
In the third step, we are going to put the minced pork in a large bowl. This step is very important because the pork filling is the "soul" of the dumplings. So, be sure to choose fresh minced pork! After putting the minced pork in a bowl, we add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, sesame oil and five-spice powder. These seasonings enhance the texture of the pork filling and make the dumplings more delicious. Then, we are going to stir in one direction with chopsticks until the pork filling becomes sticky. This step is very important because only with proper stirring, the pork filling can better absorb the flavor of the seasoning.
In the fourth step, we add chopped celery, ginger and green onions to the pork filling. This step is important because minced celery, ginger and green onions enhance the taste of the dumplings. So, be sure to stir well! After stirring, our dumpling filling is ready.
In the last step, we're going to start making dumplings. This step is very important because the skill of making dumplings determines the shape and texture of the dumplings. So, you must study carefully! First, we want to put a dumpling wrapper in the palm of our hand, and then put a spoonful of dumpling filling on the dumpling wrapper**. Next, we dip our fingers in a little water and apply it to the edges of the dumpling wrapper. Finally, we need to fold the dumpling wrapper in half and pinch the edges tightly so that the dumpling wrapper and dumpling filling fit tightly. In this way, a delicious celery meat stuffed dumpling is wrapped!
Well, after our joint efforts, the delicious celery meat stuffed dumplings are finally ready! Now, you can put the dumplings in the pot and cook them and enjoy this delicious dish with your family. Trust me, this celery meat dumpling is sure to leave you with a lot of memories!
