【Shaanxi】Egg dumplings

Overview

I remember when I was a kid, this dish could only be served during the New Year and holidays. It was usually used to make a family portrait stew or a steaming pot, and it was also an indispensable holiday dish. This dish is completely handmade. Use pig skin to rub a small iron pot or iron spoon, then pour a little egg liquid into it, remove from the heat, add the meat filling and stick the egg skin together. The key to making egg dumplings is the egg skin, and spreading the egg skin is very difficult. It is not only time-consuming, but also requires patience and skills.
