Ingredients
Steps
-
Take half a bowl of water, add a little salt to the water and dissolve it before kneading the dough (adding salt will make the dough stronger). Slowly pour the water into the dough, mix it into a flocculent shape as shown, and then knead it into dough!
-
Let the kneaded dough rise for ten minutes and knead it once. Repeat this twice and the dough will be very smooth (I mix the dough two hours in advance every time I make dumplings and let it slowly rise for a while)
-
Knead the smooth dough, cover it or wrap it in plastic wrap and set aside!
-
Add minced ginger and a little oil to the leg meat (the meat will not stick to the knife if you add oil, and the meat will not splash around). Chop it into minced meat and set aside!
-
You can also cut the lotus root into strips or cut it!
-
Rinse the inserted shredded lotus root several times in tap water to remove the starch inside, making it taste even crispier!
-
Pinch off the water from the lotus root shreds that have been soaked in water, and chop them into pieces!
-
Chop the minced lotus root and green onions and mix them into the meat! Then add chicken essence, oyster sauce, salt, light soy sauce, extremely fresh flavor, thirteen spices, and sugar and mix well!
-
Add another egg to the stuffing after mixing! Mix again! The stuffing is ready!
-
Sprinkle flour on a cutting board, cut an appropriate amount of dough, and knead it into strips.
-
Cut it into small uniform pieces, flatten it, and use a rolling pin to roll it into a skin!
-
Take an appropriate amount of filling and put it in the middle of the wrapper, fold both sides in half and pinch in the middle, then pinch the edges!
-
The bottom of the wrapped dumplings should be dipped in a small amount of flour and placed! (Otherwise the bottom will be stuck)
-
The dumplings with big fillings are ready!
-
To cook the dumplings, you need more water. Add a teaspoon of salt (the skin will not break). Put the lid on the pot and cook. After boiling, add cold water. Open the pot and cook without the lid. The dumplings will be cooked when they float!
-
Mix some chili pepper, soy sauce and vinegar, mix well, and eat!

Fragrance
-
Take one bite and peel off the skin, and the filling will be crispy!
-
I ate a big bowl in one sitting! It’s so enjoyable!
