Dumplings
LET'S START with THIS AMAZING RECEIPT.
Unfortunately we are completely skipping the process to do the skin base.
I bought some already made skin disks.
Ingredients needs:
500gr Minced pork meat
1/2 chinese carbage
1 small onion
chinese chicken stock
ginger minced
salt
black pepper
Preparation:
Minced the carbage, the ginger and the onion and put all ingredients in one bowl to mix them.
Add the chinese chicken stock, a little bit of salt and black peper and mix everything all together.
Take a spoon of the mixture, cook it quickly in the microwave and make sure that all ingredients are in the right proportion.
At this point you only need to compose your dumpling.
Take a bowl fool of water. It is needed because you need to put some water on the perimeter of the skin to create the glue effect and close the dumpling.
So here' s the process.
Take the skin, wet the border with water, and the take one spoon of the meat composite and put it in the centre of the disk.
At this point you can close in a half the disk and finish closing creating some waves on one side. when everything is sealed give a little curve idea to the dumpling, put it on a surface and keep the process with the next one.
I believe that with this quantities of mixture, you can do more or less 80-100 dumpling.
How to cook dumplig.
1st Method: steam
They can be cooked with the steam method for about 10min.
The problem with this method for now, is that the skin get bigger, while the meat get smaller. The result is a big huge empyt space inside. But i swear, they were really full in the raw condition.
2nd method: frying
take one big pan, add some oil on the surface, if you need, use the first dumpling to help you to spread all the oil in all the pan's surface.
Put all the sumpling that you can on the pann, make sure you leave some space between one and the other.
All a little quantity of water and close the pan with a lid.
Let it cook in the method of half steam, half fried for a few minutes.
And you are done!
Serve it Hot with a source of soya source, rice vinegar and sesame oil.
Enjoy :)
