Thousand-layer meatloaf that will definitely satisfy your cravings

Overview

Will there be a time when I just crave meat? Speaking of which, if Beijingers want to eat meat to their heart's content, the most common way is to make it into a long lazy dragon, or this kind of multi-layered, crispy and mellow thousand-layer meat pie. Calling it a thousand-layer meatloaf is a bit exaggerated, but the thin dough is rolled out, cut into 9 portions, covered with meat filling, rolled up layer by layer, rolled out thinly and then slowly fried over low heat. A small piece of meatloaf has eight or nine layers. Use chopsticks to peel it apart. The skin and filling are as thin as paper, revealing the mellow flavor.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut an appropriate amount of minced onion and ginger. You can cut more green onions. In order to prevent the meat filling from being too dry when stirring, you can add boiled water while stirring. To make the meat filling more fragrant, you can soak a small handful of Sichuan peppercorns in warm water. Let the water cool and then add it to the meat filling.

   

2. 2 When making meatloaf, there is a lot of oil after all, so the crispy bamboo shoots and rich-flavored shiitake mushrooms will taste particularly good if chopped into cubes and added to the meat filling. Blanch the bamboo shoots in boiling water, soak the dried mushrooms in warm water until soft, wash and chop them into cubes.

   

3. 3 I rarely add dark soy sauce when making meat fillings. I usually use 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and an appropriate amount of salt. Stir evenly in one direction and set aside.

   

4. 4 For 500 grams of flour, usually add 260 grams of warm water, or boil it cold. The amount of water added is not absolute and will be adjusted according to the water absorption rate of different flours.

   

5. 5 Knead the dough, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for half an hour. This step of relaxing the dough is very important. The dough will be softer and fluffier, and the fried pancakes will be softer and smoother.

   

6. 6 Divide the kneaded dough into two portions and roll into a rectangular shape.

   

7. 7 Place the meat filling on the dough, spread it evenly with the back of a spoon, cut 1/3 of the top, bottom, left and right sides, leaving the lower right corner blank, this piece is used to wrap the meat filling at the end.

   

8. 8 To wrap the meatloaf, first roll it from the lower right corner to the middle, then press the dough from the lower left corner, then fold the folded lower part upwards, repeat the previous sequence, press the dough on the right side toward the middle, and then fold the dough on the left side.

   

9. 9 Fold it into a rectangle like this and pinch the seal tightly.

   

10. 10 Use a rolling pin to gently roll it out, use even pressure and roll it out little by little, otherwise it will easily break the skin.

    

11. 11 Since the Thousand Layer meatloaf is relatively thick, it is best to use an electric pan for the cooking process, which not only heats the meat evenly, but also allows the top and bottom sides to be cooked at the same time. If you are using a pan, it is best to cut the dough into half and cook it slowly over low heat, remembering to turn it over several times in the middle.

    

12. 12 The fried meatloaf is cut into layers, and the patty is crispy. Isn’t it very tempting?
