Zhong Dumplings

Overview

Zhong Dumplings is a famous snack in Sichuan. It is said that it was created by You Zhong Shaobai in the 19th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu. The original store was named Xie Senmao. In 1931, the signboard of "Lizhi Lane Zhong Dumplings" was put up. The main difference between Zhong dumplings and northern dumplings in terms of materials is that the filling is all pork and no fresh vegetables are added. When served, it is topped with specially made chili oil, copied soy sauce, etc., which gives it a slightly sweet, salty, and spicy taste. 300 grams of pork, 400 grams of flour, 200 grams of water. Ingredients: 30 grams of cooked peanuts, 2 tablespoons of cooked sesame seeds, 10 grams of garlic, 5 tablespoons of chili oil, 4 tablespoons of copied soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 2 teaspoons of light soy sauce, 5 grams of ginger, 15 grams of green onions, 1 teaspoon of salt. I didn’t make this snack with copied soy sauce, so I had to use cold soy sauce or fresh flavor instead.
