Add 1.5 cups of cornstarch (9:1 ratio), 1 cup of water, a tablespoon of lard, and a pinch of salt or sugar to the semolina noodles (salt for shrimp dumplings, sugar for pancakes).
Methods (courtesy of Shintung):
Mix the noodles and cornstarch thoroughly, sift them into a bowl (a soup tureen is best for this, as the walls are thicker), bring the water to a boil, then pour it into the bowl at once, stirring quickly to mix well, and then invert it onto a plate (with the bowl attached) and let it cook. After about 10 minutes, take up the pot, put in lard, salt or sugar while it is still hot, rub it until it is pure and smooth, and cover it with a clean, damp cloth (the skin will be hardened by the wind and particles will form). Cut as much as you need and use the rest of the dough still covered with a damp cloth.
Cut out of the clarified noodles rolled into long strips, cut into 15 to 20 grams of grain, flattened by hand, placed next to a stack of oil-absorbing paper dipped in a little oil, right hand knife handle, will be thinly sliced knife blade with oil paper wipe, will be flattened grain of powder with the knife surface pressure, the left hand hold down the surface of the knife, gently will be turned to the handle of the knife, will be the grain of powder into a garden thin slices of powder, by hand, with a knife to shovel up the thin powder slice, the side of the pressure side of the package, can not be like the package of dumplings, all the skin pressure good and then package, skin is the skin by a good, clean cloth covered by the skin hard will be up grain. If the skin is hardened by the wind, it will break easily when wrapping the filling. After wrapping, put the dumplings on a plate with oil and steam them in a steamer basket over high heat for about 5 minutes to cook.
Tips: Make sure to cook the noodles in one go, and make sure the water is hot enough.
Filling: crystal shrimp dumplings:
520 grams of shrimp meat, 40 grams of fat meat, 80 grams of bamboo shoots, 80 grams of salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 12 grams of lard, 16 grams of sesame oil, a little pepper
Similar to the same dumplings, but do not have too much stuffing, because it can not be steamed for too long, less than five minutes
This is a good idea.
