Preparation of raw materials

Meat:

When making dumpling skins, you need to choose a medium-gluten flour; low-gluten flour is easy to form a batter, and high-gluten flour is too elastic, and it's not easy to roll out.

Cold water dough is good, the ratio of flour to water is basically 2:1, if you want the dough to be a little softer, add a little more water.

The dumpling skins with egg are more sinewy, and the dough should be fully woken up, and it is better to knead the dough a few times in the middle of the process, and then wake up again after kneading it. This way, the noodles will be strong, and the taste will be crisp and tasty, and not easy to break.

Filling

Hand chopped meat is better, lotus root, horse hoof, asparagus and other small dices added to the filling, can make the texture more rich.

As for the green onion, ginger and salt are all necessary, if it is a large meat filling, a little bit of pepper is also very flavorful.
