Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Kneading noodles: There are two methods, semi-scalded noodles and non-scalded noodles. For semi-scalded noodles, divide the flour into two parts, scald half with boiling water, and knead the other half with room temperature water. The noodles made by this method are soft and suitable for temporary dough mixing. Another method is not to scald the noodles. Knead the dough with room temperature water in advance, knead it until smooth, cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit. My family eats zygotes in the morning and prepared the dough last night, so today’s dough is particularly soft and has the consistency of zygote noodles without scalding.

   

2. 2 Prepare the stuffing: Cabbage stuffing is homophonic to Baicai stuffing. Eating cabbage stuffed dumplings before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has a good meaning and welcomes hundreds of wealth! Wash and chop the cabbage, add appropriate amount of salt and marinate for 10 minutes, drain off the water and set aside. Peel the green onion, wash and chop. Beat the eggs and fry them in an oil pan. It is suitable to add a little more oil when frying eggs. There is no need to add more oil when mixing the filling. Use peanut oil to mix the filling and it will be very fragrant. Wash and chop the green onions. You can add more green onions to enhance the flavor. Peel, wash, grate and chop the carrots. The remaining 4 prawns are the boiled shrimps I made yesterday. Cut them straight, peel them and chop them into small pieces. Add the shrimps, and the taste will be particularly delicious. You can also replace them with shrimp skins, which will increase the freshness and supplement calcium.

   

3. 3 Add all ingredients to a basin, add salt, five-spice powder, mushroom powder, and oyster sauce and mix well. These ingredients are all low-fat foods. Cabbage and carrots are rich in fiber, which is easy to digest and can eliminate waste from the body. Shrimp and eggs are both low-fat foods, so eating this stuffing without gaining weight will reduce the loss of meat.

   

4. 4 To wrap the dumplings, knead the dough into a long strip, pull the dough into small uniform dough pieces, a little larger than the dumplings, roll them into cakes, and wrap them with fillings. The filling will be more delicious if the fillings are larger like this.

   

5. 5 Cover with another piece of pie crust, pinch it together, and then twist it into a circle to form a lace. Today I wrapped it with sunflower seeds, which is very suitable for harmonious and beautiful days.

   

6. 6 Brush the pan lightly with oil, put in the wrapped seeds, and sear over low heat until one side is seared, then flip over and sear the other side. When the other side is seared, pour in a little water, cover the pot and simmer until the water dries up, so that the skin and stuffing can be cooked through.

   

7. 7 Then fry on both sides until golden brown.

   

8. 8 Put it on a plate and serve it. Cut it open and see. The skin is thin and the filling is big. It tastes delicious and fragrant.
