Crystal shrimp dumplings are a must-order refreshment in Hong Kong-style tea restaurants and hotels. I also like them very much myself, but the so-called crystal shrimp dumplings that I eat every time I go on business trips or travel abroad are completely off-flavored, so I have long wanted to learn crystal shrimp dumplings.
The success of shrimp dumplings has a lot to do with the skin. While the skin is transparent, it must be moderately soft and hard, but also elastic and refreshing. The filling must bring out the sweetness and juiciness of the shrimp itself, and it must have a fragrance. Shiitake mushroom powder is an essential ingredient. Shrimp itself has no fat, so fatty pork and lard can increase the juicy and tender taste of the filling.
Traditional Chinese cuisine has only been made with dim sum noodles. The stuffing master said that strict grams are required. However, the difficulty of Chinese cuisine is the seasoning. The same ingredients are produced in different places and seasons, resulting in the moisture content, texture and taste of the ingredients. There are differences, so the seasoning has to be increased or decreased according to the situation of the ingredients, and even how to cook according to the situation of the ingredients.
The more skillful the master will look, touch, smell and so on first to feel the ingredients before deciding what to do with the ingredients.
Discretion is an unpredictable thing, and cooking at home is generally only to satisfy the tastes of the family, so this discretion only needs to be considered according to the taste of the family.
But the material cannot be omitted, because there will be no authentic taste without a taste. "
