Purple Cabbage Siomai

Purple Cabbage Siomai

Overview

I like purple, so I especially like to eat purple cabbage. Not only does it feel romantic, it also has high nutritional value! Nutritional value of purple cabbage: 1. It contains many types of vitamins, rich in vitamin C/vitamin E/vitamin B, as well as rich anthocyanins and fiber. 2. Eating more purple cabbage in an appropriate amount can play a very good role in strengthening the body and increasing vitality. 3. It can also effectively maintain skin health. 4. Purple cabbage contains a certain amount of iron, which can increase the oxygen content in the blood and help the body burn fat, which is of great benefit to weight loss. I like siomai, but I didn’t expect that my daughter also likes it. The first time I made it, I made it with dumpling wrappers, which was not very good. This time I rolled the wrappers myself and used purple cabbage juice instead of water-based dough. The color is great! Beautify your skin, increase your appetite and be nutritious! Food is not only a taste experience, but also a visual experience that can make people feel instantly better!

  8. Slowly add the purple cabbage juice to the flour, add a little salt, and stir with chopsticks until it becomes fluffy. (If you are worried that it will be too wet after waiting, you can leave a little juice, because each flour absorbs water differently, and this is just right for me.)
