1. Divide 600 grams of flour into four portions of 150g, and knead them into four harder doughs! If the purple potato mash is dry, you need to add a small amount of water to knead the dough. Pumpkin mash and carrot mash are more watery. You don’t need to add water, but you need to add a little bit of puree, so that the dough will be too soft if you put too much. The same is true for spinach juice. Add in the kneaded dough bit by bit. Cover the kneaded dough with plastic wrap and let it sit for 15 minutes.
2. Prepare all the auxiliary ingredients, that is, the stuffing for making dumplings! But after the leeks are washed and cut, they must be mixed with flower oil before adding other ingredients! The purpose is to reduce the water output of leeks! (As long as the leeks are cut and wrapped in oil immediately, there is very little moisture when making dumplings, so it is easy to wrap!)
3. Mix into a more even filling! (Use chopsticks to mix until the filling is soft and fluffy, and the soup is completely absorbed)
4. Knead the resting dough into long strips and cut into small pieces!
5. Roll it into small discs! (If you want to pack the small round slices evenly, each one of the same size, you can find a small bowl the size of a dumpling wrapper or another round mold to press it, it's more beautiful!)
6. Put in the right amount of filling!
7. Hold one end of the dumpling with your left hand!
8. Pinch the other two pieces in the middle!
9. Make a discount from the left and tighten the first one just now!
10. Make another discount from the right and pinch the one on the left! Keep looping like this.
11. The package looks like this in the picture!
12. At the end, there is a small mouth left. Use chopsticks to poke it in. If the filling is not full enough, you can use chopsticks to add a little filling, because the willow-leaf dumplings are beautiful only if the filling is full!
13. Use the same method to pinch a fold on the left and a fold on the right, pinch both sides together until the mouth is closed! If you find that the tail is not full enough, you can stand with the tail as shown in the picture! A beautiful dumpling is complete!
14. Is it a sense of accomplishment that the four colors are wrapped?
15. Mix and match together is also very beautiful.
Tips:1. After the dumplings are wrapped, they can be put into the refrigerator freezer to freeze them. After an hour, they can be stored in a fresh-keeping bag!
2. If there is water coming out on the way of making dumplings, stir with chopsticks until it is completely absorbed by the filling again!
