I think dumplings are a symbol of reunion, because every time the family eats dumplings, it is always when the whole family is there.
Every time I made dumplings, my mother would tell me how I loved eating dumplings with my dad when I was young. At that time, neither of them knew how to make dumplings, so when they wanted to eat dumplings, they went to a small restaurant. But because I like to eat dumplings too much, but I can't always go to the restaurant, so I had to learn how to make dumplings by myself. So from a person who knows nothing, he became a master at making dumplings. Dad kneaded noodles and rolled dumpling wrappers, and mother mixed the fillings and made dumplings. The two swords joined the wall and the dumplings were made quickly and swiftly.
In my memory, dumplings have become a once-a-week schedule. As soon as Sunday comes, my mother will make dumplings openly. This story has to be told again from the beginning, which leads me to talk about eating in the days to come. Dumplings have a headache. When it comes to eating dumplings, I think of the leek stuffing my mother wrapped.
As a young couple born in the 1980s, it’s pretty good to be able to cook. My husband and I have never cooperated with such difficult tasks as making dumplings. Using traditional methods to make dumplings, I felt that it was relatively inefficient, so I thought of a noodle pressing machine.
I think the difference between the noodle pressing machine and manual dumplings is that the artificially rolled skin is thick in the middle and thin in the edge, so that the dumplings are not easy to break in the middle, and the thickness of the skin pressed by the noodle pressing machine is the same, and the filling is in the middle. There will be a phenomenon of broken skin. But for the speed, I still think it is faster to use the noodle machine.
Young people like new patterns, so I added purple sweet potato to the dumpling wrappers to adjust the color. Mom, continue to make her dumplings stuffed with white leek.
As for me, although I don’t know how to make normal dumplings, my mother taught me another method of making dumplings. Our family calls it "mouse dumplings." I have learned 90% of the true story and I am very proficient, so I make this kind of "rat dumplings" every time. Over time, my mother was ashamed of herself.

10. Add the mashed purple potato to the flour, add a little bit of water to form a dough.

Because we need to use a noodle press, the noodles should be made harder.

Add a little salt to the flour. The noodles made in this way are chewy. You can also add another egg.

The color of the dough is very uneven at this time, don't worry, it will be even after using the dough press several times.

15. Put stuffing in the middle of the dumpling wrapper. Don't put too much stuffing, or it will leak out if you don't cover it.
Close up and down, pinch a small fold from the right side of the skin, pinch it to the left, and then pinch it to the right in the same place.

Tips:

1. Before the dumplings are boiled, put in a few pieces of green onion, and then add the dumplings after the water is boiled, so that the cooked dumplings will not break easily and will not stick.
2. It is best to separate the leftover dumplings one by one with chopsticks and put them in another bowl, so that the dumplings will not stick together when you eat the next meal.
3. The dumplings made with the fifth gear are thinner. If you are afraid that the skin will break easily, just press the fourth gear.
4. In the process of pressing, if you are afraid that the skin will stick to the machine and it will be difficult to press, you can sprinkle a little starch on it to prevent it from sticking. But if the dough is not sticky when making dumpling wrappers, just wipe a little bit of water on the outermost circle of the circle and it will stick.
