It’s midsummer without knowing it. While summer brings us high temperatures, it also brings a lot of delicious fruits and vegetables. During this time, I especially like going to the vegetable market because I can find some very special ingredients every day. For the family For the housewife, encountering rare ingredients is just as overjoyed as buying a new set of clothes. I really haven't eaten this ingredient for many years, because it has been on the market for a very short time, only a few days a year, and you can't find its traces before you realize it. So when I met in the vegetable market today, I didn't hesitate to buy a large bag of 20 yuan a catty, and I wanted to try something new for my son.
This ingredient is grown in the south of the Yangtze River. It should be rarely seen by friends from the north. It is called water chestnut. It is eaten in many ways. It is both fruit and vegetable. It is delicious when stir-fried and stewed. The water chestnut has a lighter texture and a refreshing taste. The ingredients used in the preparation contain a large amount of protein and trace elements, which are very helpful to the growth and development of children. It also has the functions of invigorating the stomach, relieving diarrhea, diuresis, and detoxification, and is suitable for summer and autumn. In particular, the effect of preventing children's diarrhea in autumn is good, so when a large number of water chestnuts are on the market at the end of summer, I make them for children almost every day. My son loves to eat dumplings, so I made them into dumplings with pork. The water chestnut has a crisp texture and goes well with pork, which makes me feel greasy. It is used to make dumplings in summer, which is particularly refreshing and appetizing, and it is not greasy to eat more. Water chestnut has an outstanding anti-cancer effect and is a rare good ingredient.

I eat dumplings in July every year. My family only packs this stuffing, which is very rich in trace elements, and the child grows up!

Water Chestnut Pork Dumplings

1. Rinse the fresh water chestnut.

2. Use a knife to cut a cut in the back, pry the shell open along the knife edge, peel off the shell, and peel out the water chestnut.

3. The pork and water chestnut were chopped up. To look good, I also cut some colorful celery and carrots for coloring, added an egg to adjust the dry humidity, mixed all the ingredients and seasoned with salt.

4. Scoop up a spoonful of filling and place it in the middle of the dumpling wrapper.

5. Close the middle, squeeze it tightly, pull the two sides to the middle, and pinch out six petals. If there is too much powder on the dumpling wrapper, you can use a little water.

6. All the dumplings are prepared and placed on a plate sprinkled with dry powder to prevent sticking.

7. Bring a pot of water to a boil, pour a few drops of oil, pour the dumplings into the pot, cook until it boils again, the dumpling skin becomes crystal clear and transparent, pour a little cold water, cover the pot and cook until the pot is boiled again, add a little cold water again , The meat filling is ready. To boil dumplings filled with pork, add cold water twice, first cook the skin without the lid, and then close the lid to cook the meat. Add a few drops of oil to the water to prevent adhesion.

8. Use a spoon to remove the cooked dumplings and let them dry before serving.

Tips:
The water chestnut is chopped with a knife, no need to use a food processor, so that the juice will not precipitate, a little grainy, and a better taste. Add a little celery and carrot to color, and the boiled value will be higher, and the child will prefer it. .
