Carrot Pork Dumplings
1.
Main ingredients: 500 grams of carrots, 600 grams of flour, 400 grams of pork. Accessories: cooked vegetable oil, salt, light soy sauce, oyster sauce (optional), ginger, chicken essence or monosodium glutamate, five spice powder, 5 chives
2.
Add water to flour and form a smooth dough (the ratio of water to flour is controlled at 1:2), cover and wake up for more than 30 minutes, preferably more than 1 hour
3.
Cut pork into small pieces (fat-lean ratio of 3:7, or 4:6 ratio is more fragrant), slice ginger, and add a meat grinder together to make a puree, or you can chop it directly into a puree with a kitchen knife. Wash the chives and mince
4.
Add five-spice powder (optional), light soy sauce, and oyster sauce, mix evenly, and let it taste for a while (because carrots are especially easy to moisture, there is no need to beat the meat)
5.
Wash the carrots, they must be cleaned, because the carrots don’t need to be peeled, and their skins are very nutritious. Use a wire inserter to fork them into filaments. You must use a filament mold, so that the red rose is thin and easy to use. Moisture and flavour merge into the mashed meat
6.
Add the carrot shreds to the meat, mix evenly, add salt and mix evenly, add chopped green onions, add chives and mix evenly
7.
Add cooked rapeseed oil and mix evenly, or you can add sesame oil and mix evenly. Cover it and make sure to marinate for a while to make the dumplings. About 10 minutes, the radish and the mashed meat are fused together.
8.
Knead the awake dough again, knead it into long strips, divide it into small doses and squash it
9.
Roll out into small dumpling skins with thick middle and thin sides, add meat filling
10.
Into dumpling shape
11.
Add half a pot of water to the pot, bring the dumplings to a boil, then use a slotted spoon to gently stir along the side of the pot to prevent sticking to the bottom, cover the pot and bring it to a boil. After the water is boiled, add half a bowl of water.
12.
Then cover the pot and boil, repeat this two or three times, until the belly of the dumplings is round and shiny, you can get them out.
Tips:
1. The carrots must be fresh and tender, so they are delicious, don’t blanch them, they taste bad
2. Pork is best to be fat and lean (the ratio of fat to lean is 3:7, or 4:6). It depends on your taste. Carrots are especially oily.
3. Add more chives to taste better.
