Hello everyone I am JouJou in Canada
spring is the season to eat chives
today I'm using my home-grown chives to make dumplings with chives ground pork and eggs stuffing
I cut 300 grams of chives
wash chives first and dry it in air
chives used in stuffing must be dry
beat two eggs add a quarter teaspoon of cooking wine
add small amount of cooking oil in pan use med heat
pour beaten egg to the pan when pan gets a little hot
stir the eggs quickly
eggs used in stuffing must be cooked tender and rare
dish out eggs after eggs are slightly solidified
slightly break the fried eggs
soak one teaspoon peppercorn in 80 ml of hot water an hour in advance
prepare 200 grams of ground pork
add the cooled pepper water to ground pork
whip ground pork energetically in one direction
that's it
add fried egg to ground pork
add one teaspoon of salt
stir slightly
add two tablespoons of soy sauce
stir soy sauce into ground pork
time to prepare the dough
add 150 ml of room temp water to 300 grams of bread flour a little each time
stir flour mix to absorb water
the amount of water absorbed varies for different brands of flour
the flour water ratio is approximately two to one
knead flour mix to a slightly hard dough
cover and rest the dough 30 minutes
cut the chives like this
add one tablespoon cooking oil in chopped chives and stir slightly
cover chopped chives with oil to lock its juice and keep it fresh
now mix ground pork fried egg and chives together
mix them well
the stuffing for dumpling is ready
slightly knead the rested dough
roll the dough to a rope
pull Jizi one at a time each Jizi weighs about 10 grams
or use knife to cut off Jizi
crus the Jizi to a flat round dough
cover the crushed Jizi to keep it moistured
now start to roll dumpling wrapper
the wrapper should be rolled a bit thicker in the center
wrap 15 grams stuffing in center
fold wrapper like this
put ends of wrapper between forefinger and thumb, push ends up and squeeze dumpling side
demonstrate the wrapping process again
form both hands like a bowl and squeeze, put a force on the side
apply flour on bottom of dumplings so they won't stick
once water is boiling drop dumplings into pot
gently use back of spoon to push dumplings in one direction
to avoid dumplings sinking and sticking to the bottom
cook dumplings with pot covered
add one tablespoon cold water once water is boiling and dumplings float up to surface
to cook dumplings well-done, the water must boil for 3 times and add cold water for 3 times accordingly
after dropping dumplings into pot the water must boil 3 times
each time when the water in pot is boiling add a tablespoon of cold water to cool it down
My way of cooking dumplings is to use max heat all the time with pot covered
dumplings are fully cooked and time to dish out
the plump dumplings are ready
dumplings are so fresh and delicious. No dipping sauce is needed
There's a old saying in China. Nothing is more delicious than dumplings
