Corn Dumplings

Overview

This was my first time making dumplings with corn. The corn I bought this time was very tender, and a lot of the rice milk flowed out when peeling the corn kernels. I originally wanted to blanch the corn kernels with water, but I was afraid of losing too much nutrients, so I steamed them in a steamer first and then mixed them with the meat filling to make corn filling. Corn is known as a longevity food. It is rich in a variety of nutrients and crude fiber, which is very beneficial to human health: vitamin B6, niacin and other ingredients in corn have the properties of stimulating gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerating fecal excretion, and can prevent and treat constipation, stomach diseases, enteritis, intestinal cancer, etc. Corn is rich in vitamin C, isomaltooligosaccharide, etc., which has longevity and beauty effects. The nutrients contained in the corn embryo tip can enhance human metabolism and adjust nervous system function. It can make the skin tender and smooth, inhibit and delay the occurrence of wrinkles.
