Matters needing attention in cooking jiaozi:
1, don't cover the pot for cooking at first. If jiaozi just covers the lid and cooks, the steam in the pot is difficult to be discharged, resulting in excessive pressure in the pot. At this time, the dumpling skin has not yet formed, and it is easy for steam to boil the dumpling skin, especially the part of the dumpling skin exposed to the water. As soon as the skin was broken, jiaozi ran all over the pot. Therefore, jiaozi has just come out of the pot, so avoid covering the lid and let the steam in the pot out.
2. Don't cook dumpling stuffing without covering the pot. After the dumpling skin is shaped, cover it and cook the dumpling stuffing. Cover can reduce the loss of water vapor and heat, make dumpling stuffing easy to cook, and save time and fuel.
Don't add cold water when boiling. In order to cook jiaozi quickly without breaking jiaozi, in the process of cooking jiaozi, it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of cold water in time after boiling, so as to prevent the jiaozi from cracking due to boiling water or boiling too fast.

Nutrition package
1, less fat and more vegetables:
According to the principle of dietary acid-base balance, "acidic" meat, eggs and white flour should be balanced with "alkaline" vegetable raw materials. It is best to mix one meat with three vegetable raw materials without squeezing juice, and the meat used for stuffing is nine tenths of lean meat. Do not add animal oil and vegetable oil, increase the amount of vegetables, reduce the intake of saturated fat and calories, and achieve a real nutritional balance.
2. It is best to use fungi and algae as fillings:
Meat stuffing should be matched with vegetables rich in dietary fiber and minerals as much as possible, and at the same time, some foods rich in soluble fiber should be added, such as mushrooms, fungus, tremella and various mushrooms, kelp, Undaria pinnatifida and other algae. They can improve the taste, help reduce the absorption of cholesterol and fat, and control the rise of blood lipid after eating meat stuffing. Bamboo shoots and dried vegetables can also absorb fat. You can also stuff all kinds of bean products and fish instead of some meat, which is beneficial to reduce the fat content. Jiaozi can also be paired with all kinds of refreshing cold dishes.
3, vegetarian jiaozi healthy nutrition:
In contrast, vegetarian stuffing with eggs and vegetables as the main raw materials is healthier, in which oil comes from vegetable oil and the proportion of vegetables is relatively large. Because eggs contain more phosphorus, this stuffing should be matched with green leafy vegetables rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium, as well as raw materials such as shrimp skin and laver to promote acid-base balance. However, pure starch raw materials such as vermicelli have low nutritional value and are not suitable as the main raw materials for stuffing.
Cooking method:
Generally, jiaozi, with more vegetables and less meat, has high water content and is easy to "scatter". But when cooking, it will lose a lot of nutrients and taste worse. You can consider methods such as water frying and steaming, and stuffed foods with plenty of meat are suitable for cooking. Try to use less cooking methods such as frying and frying to avoid extra fat intake.
