Northerners are definitely better at jiaozi than southerners. Is it easy for everyone? People in jiaozi love to eat. Of course, it is best to pack it yourself. Jiaozi really can't do it without some skills. The probability of cooking in a pot is extremely high, which is the biggest headache for some people. Today, I will teach you a crescent-shaped wrapping method, which is particularly simple. Fuzhou people look!
Do you like this shape of jiaozi? It is a common shape, commonly known as crescent shape, and the technique is not complicated. Follow the master's steps step by step, and you can get started!
First, we roll up the dumpling skin and knead it into this shape, and then knead it a little bit from the bottom. The "pace" is even and consistent, and the mentality should be open. Don't worry, especially the novice who just started to study jiaozi.
Secondly, we should pay special attention to it. When wrapping jiaozi, if you think the dumpling skin is not sticky, you can dip it in some water, so it will be much easier to stick together!
There are many other wrapping methods in jiaozi, such as: gold ingot, quadrangle, triangle, half moon, goldfish and so on. Their wrapping method is quite complicated and not suitable for beginners to make.
It is quite easy for skillful people to wrap 7-8 shapes of jiaozi, and they will also wrap specific shapes according to traditional festivals, such as Yuanbao jiaozi, which is more common in Chinese New Year.
The crescent-shaped jiaozi wrapping method is the simplest one, especially for Fuzhou people, 80% of whom are not good at wrapping jiaozi, so it is particularly practical after learning it, and guests at home will not be afraid of embarrassment in the future.
