Ingredients for 2 people
400 grams of pumpkin
Adequate amount of high-gluten flour
Accessories
Leeks or A small handful of celery
A small piece of ginger
An appropriate amount of vegetable oil
A tablespoon of soy sauce
A small spoon of sesame oil
One tablespoon of oyster sauce
Three teaspoons of refined salt
One teaspoon of MSG
One teaspoon of Sichuan peppercorn noodles
Step 1
Warm water makes the noodles softer because the dumplings are steamed. Do not add water all at once. Add an appropriate amount according to the softness and hardness of the noodles. Wake up inside the fresh-keeping bag for a while
Step 2
Clean the melons
Step 3
Pick and wash the leeks
Step 4
Mince the leeks
Step 5
Slice the melon into shreds, and grate those with poor knife skills into shreds
Step 6
This is very important. Salt the shredded melons and squeeze out the juice. Do you want it to taste bitter?
Step 7
I added a little pork filling. If you don’t like meat, just leave it plain. It’s very delicious. If you add meat filling, stir-fry it first to avoid undercooking the meat and affecting the taste. Chop the ginger into mince and add all the seasonings to the stuffing. There is no need to add more salt. The salt will already be infused when the juice is cooked. Stir evenly in one direction, let it rest for half an hour if you have time
Step 8
Start making dumplings, you can make the filling bigger. The dough for steamed dumplings should not be too thick
Step 9
After the high heat comes to a boil, turn to medium heat for about 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for 2 minutes before returning to the pot
Cooking Tips
If soybean oil is used to mix the stuffing, it must be deep-fried. If no meat is used, chicken fat is the most fragrant, or lard can also be used
