Today, let's make nice looking fortune dumplings.
The filling is chicken with shiitake mushroom and cabbage.
Blanch the spinach first.
In less than ten seconds, take spinach out when it became soft.
Directly into the blender.
Add a few ice cubes to cool down, along with a little water.
Weigh the spinach juice.
You can probably get around 200 grams of spinach juice.
The spinach juice is smooth, and the colour of the dough will nice and green.
The amount of flour used is twice the weight of the spinach juice, 420 grams.
Add salt and pour in the spinach juice.
Stir into dough pieces, then knead the pieces into a ball.
Knead it evenly.
Rest the dough.
The amount of flour and salt for white dough is the same as for green dough.
But the amount of water should be reduced to 190 grams. The ratio of water to flour is around 45%.
Also kneaded into a ball. Next, rest both doughs twice, and knead them twice as well.
Each time rest for about 10-15 minutes, knead each dough for one minute.
The dough should be very smooth after resting and kneading.
Finally rest both doughs for one hour. At this time, let's make the dumpling fillings.
A quarter of a cabbage. Remove the root.
Shred first, then chop.
Put salt. Mix well.
Cut green onions.
Separate the whites and greens.
If the mushroom roots are hard, cut off part of them. Then chop.
Mushrooms can be directly mixed into the fillings, but it will be more tasty after frying.
Pour oil in a pan and add chopped green onion.
After the green onion is fragrant, add the mushrooms.
Mushrooms are the key flavour in the fillings, add a little more salt.
Fry until the mushrooms are soft and slightly browned.
Here are 5 skin-on chicken legs. About one kilogram.

Cut into small pieces first, then chop the meat.
Season the chicken.

2 tablespoons of regular soy sauce, one tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and two tablespoons of sesame oil.
Another tablespoon of oyster sauce.
Add half a cup of chicken broth at the end.
After mixing well, stir the chicken in one direction with chopsticks to firm up the chicken.

It's time to mix in the vegetables.
Water has come out of the cabbage.
Squeeze out as much water as possible.

Lastly add the green onions.
Simply mix.
The white and green doughs are ready.
Poke a hole in the middle of the dough.Pinch and pull to expand the hole. Cut.
Roll it long.
Same process for green dough, only slightly shorter than white dough.
Flatten the green dough and roll out.
Thin on both sides.
Put the white dough on and compare the size. If the length is different, you can adjust it.
Sprinkle a little water.
Spread the water around with you palm.
Use a knife, or a dough scraper, to help you roll up the green dough.
Continue to roll.
Then divide into thirds.
You can see that the green dough is evenly wrapped around the white dough.
Wrap two doughs in plastic wrap to keep from drying out.
Take a dough to work with.
Continue to roll.
Then use a sharp knife to cut out thin slices.
Cut as evenly as possible.
The cut dough retains the green and white shapes well.
And you no longer need to flatten it.
A little dusting flour. Separate the dough.
This is the method of pressing the rolling pin with both hands, 4 strokes is enough.
The shape of the wrap looks like a small bowl, which is easy for you to put in the fillings.

Use your thumbs to pinch the dumpling skin tightly, then squeeze it towards the center.
The dumpling belly is the shape of a ball. and it is white and, while the sides of the dumpling are green.
And every dumpling is like that.
Bring water to a boil.
Crape bottom to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pan.
