Precautions for making Xiao Long Bao 1. Making dough: Choose high-gluten flour to make dough, which can make the skin of Xiao Long Bao more elastic and tough.
At the same time, add an appropriate amount of water during the kneading process to prevent the dough from being too hard or too soft.
2. Filling preparation: The filling of Xiaolongbao is usually pork filling. You can choose fat and lean meat, which can increase the taste and aroma.
When chopping the meat, pay attention to the uniformity and fineness of the knife to make the filling more tender.
3. Seasoning of fillings: During the process of mincing the meat, you can add appropriate amounts of seasonings, such as salt, soy sauce, minced ginger, chopped green onion, etc., to increase the flavor of the fillings.
You can adjust the amount of seasoning according to your personal taste.
4. Filling technique: After rolling the dough into a thin dumpling wrapper, put an appropriate amount of filling into the wrapper, and then use your fingers to push outward from the middle to wrap the wrapper around the filling.
The wrapped xiaolongbao should be as uniform in shape as possible to avoid breakage.
5. Precautions for steaming: Before steaming the steamed buns, place a layer of lettuce leaves or steaming paper on the steaming tray to prevent the steamed buns from sticking to the steaming tray.
When steaming Xiao Long Bao, you need to control the heat and time of the steamer to ensure that the Xiao Long Bao are cooked but not overcooked.
