Teach you a simple way to package jiaozi.

Jiaozi has a long history and is one of the traditional cuisines in China. During festivals, we all like the whole family to get together and eat jiaozi. Jiaozi represents reunion and happiness. In the past, when life was difficult, we could only eat jiaozi on major festivals. Now with the improvement of the quality of life, we can eat whenever and wherever we want. However, no matter how ordinary jiaozi becomes, we still regard jiaozi as the noblest food. Whenever guests arrive, as hosts, we still like to entertain them with jiaozi.

Dumplings are thin and stuffed, and their appearance is exquisite. According to different fillings, jiaozi can be divided into many kinds. The most common fillings are pork and onion, leek and egg. Of course, according to your hobbies, you can also change the dumpling stuffing into other kinds. For example, you can make jiaozi into mushroom and egg stuffing, and you can also make jiaozi into carrot stuffing.

Although jiaozi is divided into many kinds because of different fillings, its making method is the same. A ball of noodles, a pot of stuffing, so a pinch of hands, has become a small and exquisite jiaozi. Many foreigners like jiaozi and China very much, and especially envy those who can help jiaozi. They always think it's amazing that someone can wrap jiaozi's hand. Looking at Bao jiaozi, his hands are flying. In the dazzling middle, Jiaozi seemed to be endowed with a soul, and flew out of her hands in turn, similar in size and shape, standing in a row like a reviewed elf soldier.

As mentioned above, it's true that some people will envy those who package jiaozi. Because jiaozi is delicious, but the production process is very complicated. From flour to dumpling skin, there are many processes, from various ingredients to dumpling stuffing, and there are many steps in the middle. Finish it step by step, wrap the dumpling skin and stuffing together, and finally scald it with boiling water. jiaozi is ready here. Many people are eating jiaozi. They just think it's delicious, and they eat it with vinegar one by one, but they never think about how jiaozi made it.

A wanderer who returns to his hometown will taste jiaozi in his hometown anyway. Relatives even feel that they must have a happy meal in jiaozi after a long absence. The feast in jiaozi symbolizes welcome and family reunion. Nowadays, many people who travel abroad, whether you are working or studying, whether you have a successful career or are down and out, will return to their hometown in unison every festive season. Although their hometown doesn't have rich meals in the city, they have jiaozi in their hometown and jiaozi made for you by relatives.

Now the quality of life has improved and the lifestyle has changed. In order to adapt to the fast-paced life, the traditional handmade bag jiaozi is gradually being replaced by something called quick-frozen jiaozi. No matter what you eat in a big hotel or a small restaurant, jiaozi you eat is mostly frozen jiaozi. The popularity of quick-frozen jiaozi is really convenient, but it is not as warm as it used to be in jiaozi. He ate frozen jiaozi in the restaurant just to eat, and he may still miss it.

Although quick-frozen jiaozi has been very common for a long time, many people still like to wrap jiaozi by hand, so you will notice that people who eat jiaozi in restaurants or restaurants always ask whether the last sentence is handmade. In fact, many people have forgotten how to package jiaozi. Dumpling skins and stuffing are ready, but they will not be wrapped together in the end, or they will just be pinched and taken casually. The wrapped jiaozi is either ugly or rotten when cooked in a pot.

Jiaozi is our food culture, which needs to be passed down. Today, I will share with you how to be a jiaozi simply. First, lay the prepared dumpling wrapper flat on the palm of your hand, and put the prepared dumpling stuffing in the center of the dumpling wrapper with chopsticks or spoon in the other hand. Choose the amount of stuffing according to the size of the dumpling skin, and remember not to put too much stuffing, otherwise it will easily burst the dumpling skin.

After the stuffing is put away, hold one side of the dumpling wrapper by hand, fold it with the other side, and stick the edge with a little force so that the width of the stick is not too large, so as to ensure that the stuffing is wrapped well and does not leak. Then the index finger of the left hand bends inward into a semicircle, with the thumb posture corresponding to the index finger and above it, and the other three points are slightly opened back, as long as they are not in the same plane. Jiaozi, who holds the edge, is placed in the arc surrounded by the index finger, and jiaozi is placed on the index finger. Then the left thumb presses down the edge of jiaozi, which is placed on the index finger, and so does the right thumb. Then the hands are squeezed inward, thus wrapping a round jiaozi.

This is our most common jiaozi. I don't know if you have learned it. Now the weather is getting cold, so I do it at home with my family, and then the family get together and eat a steaming bowl of handmade jiaozi to keep me warm. Today's sharing is over, I hope you like it.
