However, according to my many years of experience in cooking, most of the swallow horns used in restaurants do not contain any meat products. Not to mention a hot pot restaurant. The swallow horn in the hotel is only a mixture of soybean starch, pork essence, vanillin, refined salt and edible gum, and even the outer skin is soy products.
Yanjiao
Jiaozi is made of "swallow skin".
Take lean meat and beat it into paste with a wooden hammer, and beat it as thin as paper. Translucent. There's an allusion here.
Yan dumplings are actually from Fuzhou. The origin of the word "Yan" is probably a famous snack called "Flat Meat Yan" from Fuzhou. There is a story that everyone can't get tired of eating flat meat Yan, which is an advertising word that Chen Junfang talks about. This statement is circulated in the streets of Fuzhou. According to legend, as early as the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man who retired from his hometown in Pucheng County, Fujian Province, who lived in a mountainous area and felt dull after eating too many delicacies. So, his chef took the lean pork leg, beat it into a paste with a wooden stick, mixed with a proper amount of sweet potato powder, rolled it into pieces as thin as paper, cut it into small pieces three inches square, wrapped it with meat stuffing, made it into a flat food, and cooked it with soup. The suggestion and adult only felt smooth and crisp in their mouth, and even called "Great Wonderful" and asked what kind of dessert it was. The chef just said "Flat Meat Swallow" because of its shape. And the skin made of this kind of pork is called "swallow skin".
