My family is in the south east and west of the mountain, southwestern Shandong is rich in green goats and small-tailed sheep. The lamb is fresh but not mutated, and the taste is delicious. Basically, every family has to cook dumplings and set off firecrackers for New Year's Eve dinners in southwestern Shandong. This is also an old rule left over for many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the sound of dumplings and firecrackers accompanied me through New Year's Eve one after another. The meal on New Year’s Eve and the morning of the first day of the new year must be dumplings. The difference is that the dumplings on New Year’s Eve are stuffed with meat. You can eat stuffed pork, beef and lamb. This year is the Year of the Goat. It is best to use lamb and carrot stuffing, which means prosperity throughout the year. The dumplings on the first day of the junior high school must be plain stuffing, which means that they will be quiet for a year without worrying about things. This year, my family will definitely have this plate of lamb and carrot dumplings. Would you like to try the New Year's Eve dinner in Southwest Shandong?

New Year's Eve Dinner in Southwestern Shandong: Lamb and Carrot Dumplings

1. This is chopped lamb stuffing, put it away for later use. Use a cooking machine to shred the lamb first, and then use a large kitchen knife to chop the stuffing. When chopping, put the ginger in it and chop it well. Although there is a cooking machine now, I still prefer to chop a stuffing by myself. Believe me, it's definitely not the same taste as the cooking machine. (The best ratio is 2 fat to 8 lean. If there is no fat, the stuffing will be a little firewood and not fragrant enough)

7. Boil the pepper, let it cool and pour it into the filling. The pepper water must have 300g, and the dumplings will have juice only when the water and oil are enough. If you like to be dry, add a little less pepper water. Pepper water can be fresh to remove fishy

8. Add pepper

9. Pour sesame oil

10. Stir it clockwise with a small wooden spatula. It must be stirred in one direction so that the filling is full. When the stuffing becomes stiff, it can be stopped when there is resistance. Look at the stuffing I mixed

11. And a piece of slightly softer dough, make a good dough, cut the dough into small pieces

12. After the rolled dough, pick an appropriate amount of stuffing and put it in the middle of the dough, pinch the top, and knead the dumpling dough with both hands.
