If you want to make delicious dumplings stuffed with pork and lotus vegetables, adjusting the filling is the key. Below, let's work together on how to make a delicious pork lotus vegetable filling.
First of all, we need to prepare fresh ingredients. Choose pork with a combination of fat and lean, which will have a more juicy filling.
Lotus vegetables should be fresh and tender, free of insects, so that the taste of lotus vegetables is more crisp. In addition, you also need to prepare some commonly used seasonings, such as green onions, ginger, salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper, etc.
Next, let's take care of the ingredients. Cut the pork into small pieces and put it in a meat grinder to form a minced meat. Note that the speed of the meat grinder should be controlled when grinding the meat, so as not to grind the meat too finely and affect the taste.
Lotus vegetables need to be washed, peeled, cut into thin strips, and then chopped into a puree with the back of a knife. Green onions and ginger should also be finely chopped for later use.
Then, we started to make the stuffing. Put the ground meat filling into a large bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper and other seasonings, and stir well.
Next, add the chopped green onion and minced ginger to the minced meat and continue to stir so that the seasoning fully penetrates into the minced meat.
Next, add the minced lotus cabbage to the minced meat and stir well. At this time, you can add an appropriate amount of water or stock according to your personal taste to make the filling more tender and juicy.
It should be noted that when adding water, it should be added in batches, and stirred thoroughly after each addition to avoid the filling being too thin.
Finally, put the prepared pork lotus vegetable filling aside and marinate for a while, so that the ingredients can be fully integrated and the flavor will be more intense. The marinating time can be determined according to the actual situation, and it is generally recommended to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
