Whenever there is a festival or family gathering, a delicacy is indispensable, and that is pork and green onion dumplings. These delicious dumplings are loved for their rich taste and nutritional value. So, how to make pork and green onion dumplings at home with a smooth and tender taste and fragrant aroma?
Ingredients: Freshness is paramount
First of all, we choose fresh pork with moderate fat and leanness, which has a better texture. At the same time, choose green onions with long white onions, which can better ensure the richness of the green onions. In addition, it is essential to prepare some basic seasonings such as soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt.
The production process: meticulous and detailed
We cut the pork into small pieces and chop it into minced meat with a filler or knife. Be careful not to chop too finely to maintain a certain texture. Finely chop the green onions, but not too fine, otherwise the water will easily come out. Put the minced pork in a bowl, add the soy sauce, oyster sauce and salt and stir well. Then add water in batches and stir clockwise to make the minced meat fully absorb the water and become more tender.
Seasoning pairing: the key to taste
We add the chopped shallots to the minced meat and stir well. Add an appropriate amount of salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce and other seasonings according to personal taste, and stir well. Add a few drops of sesame oil or peanut oil to add aroma to the minced meat. Let the minced meat sit for a while to fully absorb the flavor of the spice. If you want to make the meat filling more flavorful, you can put it in the refrigerator to marinate for a while.
Making dumplings: Techniques are presented
We wrap the meat filling in dumpling wrappers, which can be rolled out by ourselves or bought ready-made. When wrapping, put the meat filling on the ** of the dumpling skin, and then pinch the edge tightly to prevent it from breaking when cooking. Bring the water to a boil and put in the dumplings and gently push with a colander to avoid sticking. After all the dumplings are floating, cook them for a short while and then they can be fished out.
Enjoy the deliciousness: even better with spices
We put the prepared pork and green onion dumplings on a plate, which can be served with your favorite seasonings such as vinegar, garlic, etc. When you bite into it, the aroma of meat and green onions is intertwined, making people have an endless aftertaste. Whether it's a family dinner or a holiday celebration, this delicious pork and green onion dumpling is the highlight of the table.
