Making pot stickers, whether it is meat stuffing or vegetarian stuffing, is almost the same. But if you want to make it delicious, the most important thing is a layer of pastry at the bottom. If you want the pastry to be crispy and golden in color, not everyone can make it. Many people make it soft and dark.
So when making pot stickers, if you want to have crispy skin at the bottom, you definitely need to pour water. So is the water poured starch water or flour water? What kind of water will make it more crisp? Today, the chef will teach you a trick. The pot stickers are delicious and crispy with ice flowers at the bottom, which the whole family loves to eat.
Formula: flour, starch, pork, onion ginger, pepper water, salt, white sugar, chicken essence, soy sauce, oyster sauce and edible oil.
1 First of all, we prepare some flour, pour water into it, stir it evenly and make a dough, then put it aside for a little while to wake it up. Let's make stuffing.
2. After the pork is washed, chop it into minced meat, then chop the onion and ginger into minced meat, then mix the minced onion and ginger with minced pork, pour the pepper water into it, stir it quickly and constantly, and stir all the pepper water into the minced meat, which can remove most of the fishy smell of pork.
3, then add salt, sugar, chicken essence, soy sauce, oyster sauce to taste, and finally add a little cooking oil. After stirring evenly, this meat stuffing is ready. Let's take the dough, divide it into small doses, roll it into dumpling wrappers, wrap stuffing in it, and finally pinch it tightly, but you need to leave a little cut at both ends. This is the difference between pot stickers and jiaozi.
4. Boil oil from the pot below, and a little oil will do. Put the pot stickers in, fry them slowly on low heat, and fry them until the bottom is slightly burnt. In the process of frying pan pasting, let's make a bowl of water, so whether to use flour or starch, the correct operation should be to use both, starch and flour1:2, then add 3 times of water and stir evenly.
5. Finally, you need to add a little cooking oil to it and mix it thoroughly. Put it aside for later use. After the pot stickers are fried, we pour flour and starch water into them, cover them and stew for a while until the water dries and ice flowers appear at the bottom of the pot stickers, and then we can go out of the pot.
Tip:
Do you need starch or flour water to make pot stickers? The correct method should be to use everything to make it more crisp. Adding a little cooking oil to it will have a better effect.
