Dumplings have long been more than just a kind of delicacy, they are the representative of Chinese delicacy. Every part of it contains the food culture of the Chinese nation, which is the home-cooked delicacy of every household. It is also a must-have food on New Year's Eve. Dumplings were first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage in Nanyang, my country. It has a history of more than 1,800 years. Dumplings in many places, there is a folk song called "Dahan Xiaohan, eat dumplings for the New Year." Dumplings have now become an indispensable Chinese New Year delicacy for northerners. When making dumplings, people often pack Jinruyi, brown sugar, peanuts, dates and chestnuts into the stuffing. Those who eat wishful things and brown sugar will show that the coming year will be sweeter, those who eat peanuts will live a long and healthy life, those who eat jujubes and chestnuts will have early sons, and those who eat coins will have a lot of money.

There is a folk saying, "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and keep you safe throughout the year." China is the hometown of radishes. "Red" radishes are also known as "big red radishes", "red radishes" and "Northeast radishes". They are generally spherical, with red roots and white flesh. In ancient times, there was a saying: "radish goes on the market, the doctor goes on the market", which means that when the carrot goes on the market, there is no need for a doctor! Of course this is a bit exaggerated! But the radish is indeed a good thing! Radishes are known as "little ginseng" in Chinese folks. In winter, they become a frequent visitor at the dinner table of every household, so northerners like to make dumplings with carrots. After all, carrots are very nutritious, and they are popular because they are fresh and juicy.

Today, Cocoa made "Carrot and Pork Dumplings" with carrots, especially during the Spring Festival, which can help digestion and remove greasy. There are a few folk sayings about cooking dumplings: "Boiling dumplings first cook the skin and then the stuffing", "cover the pot and cook the stuffing, and let the pot cover the skin". How do you cook dumplings? Cocoa likes to add cold water three more times when cooking dumplings. After boiling again, the dumplings are floating and swelling, which means that the dumplings are well cooked, but you don’t like to eat especially cooked dumplings because the skin of the dumplings is not strong. It is best It's the dumpling skin that is strong and tenacious so that it is delicious!
