The dumplings are delicious, and rolling the skin is too much trouble, especially in winter, I really don’t want to touch cold water. The ready-made dumpling skins bought at the vegetable market, my son thought it was not good, as the saying goes, "lazy people have ways to be lazy"! This world is driven by lazy people! Over the weekend, I made a dumpling that doesn’t need to mix noodles or roll the skin. Both my son and my husband like it very refreshing and juicy. Just eat one and I’m so happy. I just boast that I have a way!

Entering winter, the weather is too cold. Let’s think of something lazy to cook. This dumpling can be used as breakfast or as a dish. It can kill two birds with one stone. It is nutritious and delicious. Moms with children at home may wish to peanuts for 5 minutes and talk to Meimei. Let's do it together.
The dry air in winter, coupled with the heating in the north and the stove in the south, greatly increase the chance of getting angry. Therefore, three meals a day should eat more food that clears heat. Lotus root is the representative food for clearing heat. In addition, the amount of exercise in winter is relatively small, and the rich dietary fiber of lotus root can also promote gastrointestinal motility, which can kill two birds with one stone. Let's take a look at how this lotus root dumpling is made.

Ingredients

Lotus Root Dumplings

1. The ingredients are ready, and a little bit of vegetables when making the meat filling will not only make the meat filling taste better, but also make the diet balanced.

2. Peel the lotus root, then rub it into thin slices with a wiper, and put it in clean water to prevent oxidation and discoloration. You can cut with a knife without a wiper, but it must be very thin! Otherwise, it will break when folded in half.

3. Cut the pork into small pieces, put it in a food processor, add a little salt and an egg, and beat into a fine puree.

4. Boil the rape leaves in a pot of boiling water, remove them, chop them into fine pieces, and mix well with the pork mash.

5. Take out the lotus root slices, absorb the moisture on the surface, and evenly sprinkle a layer of starch on the surface. I usually use corn starch, but potato starch and pea starch are also acceptable. The starch sprinkling is mainly for binding the meat filling, so spread it evenly as much as possible, with the help of the slippery net.

6. Put the minced meat on the lotus root slices and fold it in half. The lotus root slices must be thin in this step. If the lotus slices are thickened before, they will break easily.

7. Heat the pan with oil, and put all the lotus root dumplings in the pan.

8. Fry on low heat until both sides are slightly yellow, then add appropriate amount of hot water.

9. Then close the lid and simmer until the moisture is completely absorbed.

10. The stewed lotus root dumplings can be eaten directly, but for a better taste, we can adjust the sauce. The pan for frying the dumplings does not need to be washed. Pour directly into half a cup of water, boil the shrimps and red peppers, and pour in the soy sauce. Add salt to taste and thicken. Pour the soup on the lotus root dumplings, sprinkle with chopped green onion and decorate them before serving. Crisp lotus root slices, with tender pork filling, one bite down, full of fragrance, really make people can't stop, such a large plate, the son who usually doesn't like eating meat takes one bite, and the CD will be in a few minutes! It's so delicious, you won't need to make noodles anymore in making dumplings!
