My hometown is in Anhui, and it is worth recommending egg dumplings with local characteristics. Golden egg dumplings are a must-have food during festivals. They are tender on the outside, and the stuffing can be fresh shrimp or pork. The soft aroma of eggs is too fragrant. Small egg dumplings contain parents' expectations and blessings for their children.

Egg dumplings are a kind of delicious food with fresh shrimp, pork, beef and mutton as fillings and egg bags. Delicious and nutritious, it is suitable for all ages. Eggs are sweet and flat, and have the effects of nourishing the heart, calming the nerves, enriching the blood, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. The key to making egg dumplings is the skin of the egg, but it is not very difficult to spread the skin of the egg, but it requires skill. Pour the egg liquid into a spoon and put the spoon on the fire and turn it evenly.

This is an authentic home-cooked dish, such as steamed egg dumplings, steamed chicken with egg dumplings, and pork belly with egg dumplings ... When I was young, I could only see this dish on the table during the Chinese New Year holiday, and it was one of the indispensable holiday dishes. The whole process is handmade, a pair of chopsticks, a small iron pot or spoon, and a piece of pork fat. This is the tool for making egg dumplings.

For example, glutinous rice can be placed in meat to make it refreshing and reduce the amount of meat.

Practice

1. Turn on a small fire, put a little oil in the pot, and shake the pot surface counterclockwise to make the oil evenly touch the bottom of the pot. The amount of oil is appropriate at this time when there is no obvious oil accumulation at the bottom of the pot.

2. Put one or two spoonfuls of egg liquid into the pot, and shake the pot surface clockwise to make the area of the egg skin as large as possible without holes in the middle;

3. At the same time, knead a small amount of minced meat into your favorite shape, such as a tube, a cake, a strip, a bowl, a wind, and a handle (preferably a circle), and put it in the center of the egg skin;

4. Turn the egg skins around with a spade or chopsticks to wrap the meat.

5. Fry the whole egg-wrapped meat in reverse, and the egg dumplings can be formed, which can be turned over several times as needed; The above process is faster, and it is more convenient for two people to operate at the same time. If one person fires, it will be smaller;

6. You can master how long it takes to fry. Usually, you can fish it out in golden brown, but you can't eat it yet, because the meat is not fully cooked.

7. repeat the above steps for n times to fry n egg dumplings.

special note: if you have good cooking skills, you can try to make egg dumplings with a large spoon (used when serving soup), that is, a spoon with half a spoon of oil (evenly covered with the bottom of the spoon), 1~2 spoons of egg liquid and a spoon of meat stuffing. When the edge of the egg skin is dry, you can dip the egg liquid with chopsticks and smear the edge, and then merge them. The egg dumplings made in this way have the same size and are very beautiful. Of course, the fire should be moderate, otherwise it will easily burn out.

Origin

Egg dumplings can be traced back to the source. Some people say that they were invented by Hakkas. According to records, after the Qin and Han Dynasties, due to the battle for kingship, the war in the north continued, resulting in five great population migrations in the history of China. The people and bureaucrats in the Central Plains migrated to the south, and finally settled in the border areas of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, forming the Hakka clan. Northerners love to eat jiaozi, but there is no wheat in the south, so Hakkas have to try their best to make jiaozi with other raw materials-make jiaozi with sweet potato powder, which is called potato powder jiaozi; Wrapping tofu in jiaozi is called making tofu; Jiaozi calls it egg dumplings with egg bags.

implication

Egg dumplings symbolize wealth and fortune. Egg dumplings are as golden as gold ingots, and all kinds of auspicious and happy things can be wrapped in the stuffing to pin people's good expectations. Because the skin of egg dumplings is eggs, it is not suitable for long time, so it is recommended to eat them as soon as possible after making them to avoid bad taste after deterioration.
