After the New Year, we have officially entered the days of stocking up on meat. There are all kinds of delicious food at home, but for fitness people, they are reluctant to give up the body they have trained for a year, but the enthusiasm of their families is hard to refuse.
.
In fact, half of the reason why we travel all the way home from all over the country to celebrate the New Year is to have a New Year’s Eve dinner.
The New Year's Eve dinner in each place has its own characteristics, such as "Pork Stewed Vermicelli" in Northeast China, "Sichuan Sausage" in Sichuan, "Sanquan Banquet" (whole chicken, whole duck, and whole fish) in Hubei, and "Getting Rich" in Guangdong.
"Hands" (pork trotters stewed with oyster sauce) and so on.
But if there is any food that is universally popular across vast areas of China, it must be dumplings in the north and wontons in the south.
Eat well during the Chinese New Year, and most gyms are closed, so everyone has to complain about being "three pounds fatter" again.
When it comes to food suitable for fitness people, I think dumplings and wontons are indeed artifacts, which makes me admire the wisdom of ancient Chinese people.
nullThe whole family prepares a happy dumpling feast together. This is the happiest time of the year for both elders and children.
Since there are so many ways to make dumplings and wontons, I chose a recipe for shepherd's purse and meat wontons provided by "Meishijie" to study. If you want to know the specific method, I will put it in the later part of the article.
Take a look at its raw materials: null Take a closer look at the materials that need to be prepared. You will find that except for a spoonful of sesame oil, wontons basically do not need to add oil.
This is quite rare among the many big fish and meat.
The fat we consume mainly comes from the meat itself, but if this is the case, we are completely acceptable.
The wonton filling is half filled with vegetables.
Think about it, do we often see a table of big dishes during the Chinese New Year, but vegetables are rarely seen?
Here is a reminder to everyone, you must eat more vegetables and fruits during the Chinese New Year.
Wonton wrappers provide carbohydrates, shepherd's purse provides vitamins and fiber, and meat provides protein, fat and minerals.
If you want to score from a nutritional perspective, I would personally give it 90, and of course the total score is 100.
nullReminder: Pay special attention to the use of salt when eating wontons and dumplings.
Many families like a salty taste and put a little more salt in the stuffing. If there is more salt in the soup or some side dishes are served, the total amount of salt can easily exceed the standard.
Be careful with this.
Here’s how to make wontons: 1. Prepare the main ingredients.
2. Add salt, minced ginger and cooking wine to the meat filling, mix well and marinate for a while.
3. Remove impurities from the shepherd's purse, cut off the roots, wash, boil water in a pot, add the shepherd's purse, blanch until soft and remove.
4. Let the shepherd's purse cool and squeeze out the water.
5. Chop the dried sesame seeds and add them to the minced meat.
6. Chop the shepherd’s purse and add it to the meat filling.
7. Crack an egg into the filling.
8. Sprinkle appropriate amount of salt and a spoonful of shrimp skin powder.
9. Stir evenly in one direction.
10. Take a piece of wonton wrapper.
11. Wrap in appropriate amount of filling.
12. Wrap into Yuanbao style wontons.
13. Prepare the ingredients for wonton soup: dried shrimp skin, instant seaweed, and eggs.
14. Put in small pieces of seaweed, dried shrimps, a little light soy sauce, and a little sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.
15. Crack an egg into a bowl, mix well, then pour it into a pan, spread it into an egg skin and cut into shreds.
16. After boiling an appropriate amount of water in the pot, add wontons one by one, use a spatula to slowly push along the edge of the pot to avoid sticking to the pot, turn to low heat and cook until the wontons are floating and plump.
17. Add half a bowl of wonton soup to the bowl of dried shrimps and seaweed. 18. Then add the cooked wontons to the bowl, top with shredded egg skin, and sprinkle with chopped green onion or garlic.
