Lamb and celery dumplings
Overview
First of all, I wish you all good health during the winter solstice! The winter solstice is an important solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar. On this day, the night is the longest and the yin energy is the heaviest. After the winter solstice, the yang energy slowly rises and the days slowly become longer. It is a key solar term for the transformation of yin and yang. It is also the best time to prevent summer diseases and cure winter diseases. During the winter solstice, health preservation requires storing Yang Qi, with the emphasis on avoiding the cold. The diet should not be too salty, as salty food will damage the kidneys and damage Yang Qi. During the winter solstice, you can eat warm foods such as mutton and beef to replenish yang and prevent the cold during the winter solstice. Celery is rich in protein and a large amount of fiber. It is cool in nature and sweet in taste. I used mutton spine for this dumpling. I was worried that it would be too lean so I added pork and paired it with celery. It was delicious enough! Eating dumplings during the winter solstice not only satisfies the taste, but also maintains health. I hope everyone will spend the cold winter safely and healthily!
