In the north, waiting for the arrival of heating is the hardest. There are many people in the room wearing cotton-padded clothes and trousers, such as me. I am a person who is afraid of the cold. As soon as it gets a little cold, my hands and feet are completely out of control, just like popsicles.

What is the warmest to eat in such a cold day? Mutton, of course! Mutton is the warmest and nourishing food among all meat foods, so I often buy some mutton to eat every autumn and winter. Besides stewing soup, I also like to wrap jiaozi with it.

Mutton is tender and delicious, but it will smell fishy if it is not cooked. Therefore, the mutton stuffing in jiaozi has a fishy smell. What seasoning should be used to remove fishy smell? It turns out that this bowl of "water feeding" is the most important thing.

Adding a bowl of "seasoning water" to adjust the stuffing not only has no fishy smell, but also makes jiaozi extremely delicious and smooth. The mutton stuffing mixed in this way smells better. Take a bite and the meat will burst into juice in your mouth, making you lose your teeth and become greedy! It makes my mouth water ... ouch! Anyway, I'm going to package jiaozi.

★ Prepare mutton dumpling stuffing.

◆ Staple food: 500 grams of mutton stuffing.

◆ Materials and water production: 1 large bowl of water, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 star anise, 1 teaspoon of fennel, 1 piece of cinnamon and 2 pieces of fragrant leaves.

◆ Accessories: 1 80g feed water, 1 root onion and1root ginger.

◆ Seasoning: 3 tablespoons of cooking wine, appropriate amount of salt, pepper 1 teaspoon, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, light soy sauce 1 teaspoon, half a teaspoon of sugar, appropriate amount of sesame oil, and chicken essence 1 teaspoon.

-Production steps-

Let's make water supply first. Put all the ingredients in the water into the pot, turn to the minimum fire after boiling, cover and stew for 5 minutes. Filter out the seasoning residue, and the rest is the feed water for our mutton stuffing. Don't underestimate this bowl of seasoning water, it is the "baby" of mutton stuffing to remove fishy smell and enhance fragrance.

While waiting for the water to cool, you can prepare vegetables for jiaozi. Prepare 500 grams of mutton stuffing, take out about 180 grams of feed water, and add a small amount to the mutton stuffing several times. Be careful not to add them all at once. Stir in one direction while pouring, clockwise or counterclockwise, as long as you don't stir back and forth. Wait until the meat stuffing runs out of feed water before adding a part. Don't worry. Add it slowly.

You can stir with two pairs of chopsticks like me without any effort. Don't add too much water, but add it several times. After all the feed water is added, it will be in the state shown in the figure.

Now, add all the seasonings, 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 spoon of black soy sauce, 1 spoon of pepper, 3 tablespoons of cooking wine and half a spoonful of sugar, and continue to stir in the same direction. The purpose of adding a little white sugar is not to increase the sweetness, but to make the mutton stuffing more delicious, because white sugar has the function of refreshing.

You see, the mutton stuffing is gelatinous now, and it is very laborious to stir it. This kind of mutton stuffing will do.

Now you can add chopped green onion and Jiang Mo, and then pour sesame oil on chopped green onion and Jiang Mo. First, mix sesame oil with minced onion and ginger, and then mix with mutton stuffing. The mutton stuffing made in this way completely removes the fishy smell of mutton and has only a fresh flavor.

The mutton dumpling stuffing is ready. This kind of dumpling stuffing is very delicious whether it is wrapped in jiaozi, steamed stuffed bun or baked pie. Bao jiaozi smells good and tastes even better. The meat is tender and jiaozi is delicious. When you take a bite of a meatball, jiaozi will hold a group and generate will give you juice.

▋▋▋ Making Tips: When mixing meat stuffing, you must stir in one direction, not back and forth. After adding onion and ginger, you should also stir in one direction. Don't continue stirring after mixing evenly. Excessive mixing of meat stuffing will "relax", which means that it looks loose and sticky, and it will produce soup when jiaozi is wrapped. The prepared mutton stuffing is very sticky and even sticks to chopsticks, so that no vegetables will produce soup and no smell.
