Hello everyone, I am Xiao Gaojie.
Today we are going to make dumplings with chicken and cilantro.
Any all purpose flour is OK
If you can find this dumpling flour, you can give it a try
the flour particles are smaller than regular flour.
After the dumplings are cooked, they look smooth and shiny.
Use a scraper to stir it first
If your hands are dry, the dough will not stick to your hands
Stop when you don't see the dry flour.
rest for 20 minutes, come back to knead it.
Very easy, just a few times
When the surface becomes smooth, knead it for one more minute
Cover the lid for one hour
Let's prepare the fillings
Cilantro, removes some leaves
Too many cilantro leaves can leave a bitter taste to the meat
Wash clean the cilantro roots
Drain the water
This is boneless chicken thigh
Boneless chicken legs are OK
Drumsticks have more tendons, remove the bigger tendons first
Wash clean
Cut into large pieces first
Then chop the meat
a large spoonful of soy sauce
Ginger, I added a little bit of water to make ginger puree with a machine.
You can chop it
Egg white
White pepper powder
a little bit five-spice powder
chopped green onion
salt
When use other kinds of meat to make the filling, a big portion of fat is added
So If you have chicken fat, you can add a little
Or like me, use vegetable oil to supplement
heat up the oil till see the smoke, then pour on to the chopped green onions
We flavored the oil with green onion taste
Stir well
Stir in one direction
By now the cilantro is almost dry.
Chopped
Mix a little sesame oil
Then stir into the meat
After an hour, the dough is ready. Let's make dumplings.
Today I am making dumplings with my kids
Roll, and turn the direction little bit
You can speed up a little
My parents taught me how to wrap a dumpling when I was a kid
It is also the first way of wrapping a dumpling that I learned.
Now I teach my children
Cast iron pot, pour a little oil
Before the pot is heated up, put the dumplings
Then put 1/4 cup of water
Cover the lid
The bottom is fried, but the upper layer of the dumplings is actually the steamed
After about 4-5 minutes, the water in the pot evaporated.
Then fry for another minute till the bottom becomes crispy
