I am a Chongqing girl, but I grew up in Shandong. When it comes to eating, I love the flavors that are delicious as long as they are delicious, but the dishes I made at my home are always Chongqing spicy, and the staple food is basically the same. rice. For me, pasta is basically an embellishment. Occasionally I buy three-erman buns and steamed buns outside, and I never make pasta at home. My mother always says that it’s okay to let her fry anything, but to make pasta, then But it was really embarrassing for her, so she seldom eats pasta since she was a child. Even the dumplings on New Year’s Eve are frozen dumplings from supermarkets, so from the very beginning, I only learned to make stir-fries, and I have never dared to try to make noodles.

After getting married, under the strong suggestion of my husband, I started to come into contact with all kinds of noodles and found that this is a different world. In the past two years, I have made buns, made steamed buns, bake flatbreads, steamed rice cakes... .It is getting easier and easier to do. But spring cakes have never been made. I saw a post about Peking duck last night. I remembered the thin burritos when I ate Quanjude before, wrapped in a few shredded green onions, two slices of roast duck, and paired with a special sauce. Gee, that taste is really unforgettable. However, I can't make roast duck at home, so I might as well make some spring cakes and roll them with my own stir-fried side dishes, so one roll is also a delicacy.

There are two kinds of spring cakes, one is baked, the other is steamed, and I prefer steamed, because the steamed spring cake is light and does not harden, and the thin one is like gauze. So, what I shared today is the steamed spring cake, and it is a fast version, without mixing the noodles without rolling the noodles. The ingredients needed are just a stack of dumpling wrappers and a small bowl of oil.

Today I was making spring cakes while still steaming the steamed buns, so I really didn’t have time to make dumpling wrappers. I stole a lazy and bought a stack of ready-made dumpling wrappers downstairs. The effect was not bad at all. You can make dumpling wrappers with your own noodles. You must use hot water to boil the noodles to make dumpling wrappers. The spring cakes produced in this way are softer and tougher. You must wake up for half an hour after boiling the noodles in hot water.

Ingredients

20 tablets Dumpling Skin
1 small bowl Oil

Spring is Here, How about A Spring Cake?

1. Take a dumpling wrapper, grease the surface, and then take another dumpling wrapper and fold it on top of the first dumpling wrapper, making sure to align it. Grease the surface of the second dumpling wrapper, and then fold the third one, and repeat, about 10-15, and the last one does not need to be greased.

2. When stacking, be sure to align it. After the last one is stacked, gently press it down with your hand a few times, pressing both sides, which is easier to roll. Then use a rolling pin to roll around from the middle. It can be like rolling a dumpling wrapper. Don’t just roll it in one direction. You have to roll it back and forth in each direction. The front and back sides must be rolled a few times. It must be flat, not thick in the middle and thin around the edges. Don't be thin in the middle and thick around the sides, otherwise the thickness of the steamed crust will be uneven. When it is rolled to a size of about 20 cm in diameter, it is almost the same. Finally, apply a layer of oil to the bottom of the last cake crust to prevent it from sticking to the steamer cloth or steamer.

3. Spread the steamer cloth in the steamer, I put it directly on the plate, and let the water boil and steam for about 10 minutes. After steaming, let it cool for a while and you can uncover it. The top one may contain a lot of water vapor. Be careful when uncovering. If the first one is not easy to uncover, you can uncover it with the second one, or just don't. You must take your time to uncover the crust.

4. After all the crusts are uncovered, put them on the plate one by one. Each one is very soft and thin, as thin as yarn. Put it on your hand and you can clearly see your hand.

5. While steaming the pie crust, you can prepare the side dishes and match them according to personal preference. Today I have served several side dishes, including green pepper scrambled eggs, carrot shreds, mushroom fried meat, and cabbage shreds. If you like sweet noodle sauce, you can put some sweet noodle sauce on On the pie crust, you can use your imagination as much as you can

Tips:
If you can't finish it all at once, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and heat it up next time you eat it. The taste is the same as freshly steamed. Today I made more than 20 spring cakes and ate two meals. The satisfaction really came from the bottom of my heart. You can also try such a simple recipe to make a meal for the one you love. It is not only the satisfaction of the taste buds, but also the embrace of love.
