In this era of food, learn to make your own dumpling wrappers, not only can you taste the taste of your hometown, but you can also show off your skills in front of your family and friends, and become a star in the kitchen!
First of all, we need to understand the basic ingredients of dumpling wrappers. Generally, the main raw materials for dumpling wrappers are flour and water. Of course, if you want a healthier and more nutritious dumpling wrapper, you can also add some vegetable juice or tofu residue. In this way, the dumpling wrapper not only tastes better, but also has higher nutritional value!
Next, let's learn the steps of making dumpling wrappers. First, pour the flour into a large bowl and add the right amount of water. Note here that when adding water, add it slowly, stirring while adding it to avoid clumps in the flour. Wait until the flour and water are well stirred, and then you can start kneading. When kneading the dough, knead vigorously so that the dough fully absorbs the water and becomes softer. Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for about 20 minutes.
After the dough has risen, we can start rolling out. When rolling the skin, choose a clean cutting board and sprinkle with an appropriate amount of dry flour to prevent sticking. Roll the dough into small pieces and use a rolling pin to roll out into a round dumpling wrapper. When rolling the skin, it is necessary to pay attention to the strength to be even, the edges to be thin and the middle to be thick, so as to ensure that the dumplings taste better after cooking.
Of course, if you find it too strenuous to roll the skin by hand, you can also choose to use a dumpling wrapper machine. The dumpling wrapper machine is easy to operate, just put the dough into the machine, press the switch, and you can easily roll out a perfect dumpling wrapper. However, when using the dumpling wrapper, you should also pay attention to controlling the thickness and size so as not to affect the taste of the dumplings.
Once the dumpling wrappers are rolled out, we can start making the dumplings. When making dumplings, you can choose different fillings according to your preferences, such as pork, beef, lamb, shrimp, etc. Put the filling on the dumpling wrapper**, then fold the dumpling wrapper in half and pinch the edges, and a delicious dumpling is born!
Finally, we have to put the wrapped dumplings into the steamer and steam them. When steaming dumplings, pay attention to the control of heat to avoid the dumplings being boiled or undercooked. Generally, steam for 15-20 minutes. The steamed dumplings are fragrant and mouth-watering!
In short, it is not difficult to learn how to make dumpling wrappers, as long as you master the kneading and rolling skills of dough, and with rich fillings, you can easily enjoy delicious dumplings at home. Get started and let your family and friends taste your handmade dumpling wrappers!
