The production history of Majia steamed dumplings can be traced back to 190 years ago. As early as the first year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1796), Muslim Ma Chun pushed a cart to sell steamed dumplings in various prosperous places in Shenyang. Because of its excellent materials, unique formula and numerous customers, Ma Chun became famous in one fell swoop. In the eighth year of Daoguang (1828), his son Ma Guangyuan inherited his father's footsteps, opened a shop in Maqiang, Xiaoxicheng Gate, Shenyang, and hung up the signboard of Majia Steamed Dumpling House, which became more and more famous.
Majia steamed dumplings are characterized by rolling noodles into lotus leaves by hand, with thin edges and moderate thickness; Fresh meat with peeled tendons is used as stuffing, and meat, oil and water are not mixed; With rice flour as cloth surface, the dough is elastic; When eating, the stuffing is fragrant and juicy, delicious and not sticky.
196 1 year, Majia Steamed Dumpling Restaurant was moved to the city's small north gate, and the production process was further improved, forming its unique flavor and gaining fame in the three northeastern provinces. However, in the mid-1960s, due to the shortage of raw materials, the traditional production methods were ignored, the quality of steamed dumplings declined, and the reputation was frustrated. Since 1978, the government has strongly supported its development, tripled the area of the steamed dumpling restaurant, allocated cheap beef and raw materials, restored the traditional feeding standard, and selected the fifth generation of Ma Jiting from Ma Chun as the technical director, changing the mechanical noodle pressing into the traditional manual noodle rolling. The quality of steamed dumplings is better than before, not only delicious, but also beautiful in appearance, which is well received by customers. Many Islamic countries travel to Shenyang, mostly for tasting. Now Majia steamed dumplings are named as famous brand flavor food in Shenyang by the municipal government.
