The history of soup dumplings can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty, when the "first floor" of the capital city of Kaifeng (now Kaifeng, Henan) was the birthplace of soup dumplings. After hundreds of years of inheritance and development, soup dumplings have gradually become one of the representatives of traditional Chinese cuisine. Nowadays, whether it is in the streets and alleys of the north or in the restaurants and restaurants in the south, you can see the figure of soup dumplings.
To make a delicious soup-filled bun, you first need to prepare the ingredients. The main ingredients include flour, pork, and broth. Flour is the outer skin of the soup dumplings, and high-quality flour needs to be selected to ensure the taste and elasticity of the bun skin. Pork is the filling of soup buns, and it is necessary to choose pork with fat and lean to ensure the freshness and taste of the filling. The soup stock is the soul of the soup dumplings, which need to be boiled with pork bones, chicken and other ingredients to ensure the deliciousness and richness of the soup.
Once you've prepared the ingredients, it's time to start making the soup dumplings. First of all, flour and water are mixed in a certain proportion to make a bun wrapper. This process requires mastering the softness and hardness of the dough and the fermentation time to ensure the texture and elasticity of the bun skin. Next, the pork is cut into small pieces and marinated for a while with spices to give it a flavor. Then, the marinated pork is cut into small pieces and stirred together with the stock to form a filling. This process requires mastering the saltiness of the filling and the richness of the soup to ensure the texture and taste of the buns.
When the filling is ready, it's time to start wrapping the buns. Place the bun skin in the palm of your hand, place the filling on the skin**, and then knead the bun skin with your fingers to make it seal. This process requires mastering the shape of the bun and the tightness of the seal to ensure that the bun will not break or leak during the steaming process.
The last step is to steam the soup dumplings. Put the wrapped buns in a steamer and steam them for a while over high heat until the skin of the buns becomes transparent, plump, and the soup is rich. This process requires a good grasp of the steaming time and heat to ensure the doneness and taste of the buns.
