Ingredients: 2 loofahs, 500 grams of flour, 2 eggs, 1 carrot.
Accessories: appropriate amount of oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 green onion, appropriate amount of five-spice powder, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.
Steps:
1. Knead the dough first. Add a little salt to the flour, then pour in an appropriate amount of water and knead it into a dough. The purpose of adding salt can increase the gluten of the dough. It prevents the skin from breaking and prevents it from sticking when cooking.
2. Set the dough aside to rise.
3. Peel the loofah. You must prepare a few more loofahs, because the water of the loofah is very high, and only a little is left after squeezing out the soup.
4. Chop the loofah and carrots into small pieces and set aside. Then sprinkle some salt on the loofah, mix well and squeeze out the soup.
5. Beat the eggs, fry until cooked and set aside.
6. Put loofah, carrots, and eggs into a large bowl, add oil, five-spice powder, oyster sauce, and salt to taste.
7. Use chopsticks to mix the fillings and seasonings thoroughly, and mix them into dumpling fillings. They will smell particularly fragrant.
8. Cut the dough into equal-sized dumplings, and then roll them into dumpling wrappers.
9. Take a dumpling wrapper, put an appropriate amount of dumpling filling, and then wrap it into a dumpling shape.
10. After all the dumplings are wrapped, they are ready to be cooked.
11. The last step is to cook the dumplings. Add water to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the dumplings and cover the pot. After boiling the pot again, pour in a bowl of cold water. Then continue to cover the pot and boil again. Repeat for two more times. This time the dumplings with plain fillings are cooked and can be taken out and eaten.
