How to make pot stickers (kneading noodles)

Ingredients: 1 jin of flour, appropriate amount of boiling water

1. Prepare about 1 jin of flour and put it in a basin Inside, the basin should be larger.

2. To make pot stickers or pies, you need to boil the noodles. The boiling water is about 80 degrees, which is more suitable.

3. When making pasta, the amount of water is difficult to measure. Using more and less depends entirely on the actual situation. Slowly add boiling water and stir with chopsticks. Once it forms a fluffy consistency, you can omit the water and start kneading the dough with your hands.

4. After kneading the dough, cover it with a drawer cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for 20 minutes.

5. Knead the dough into a long strip, divide it into even small portions, and then roll it into a dough that is thick in the middle and thin around the edges.

6. Put an appropriate amount of filling in the middle of the dough, apply a small amount of water on the outer edge of one side of the dough, and cover it with the dough on the other side, so that the pot stickers are wrapped.

7. Then wrap the pot stickers one by one. This method is relatively simple and does not require sealing. Because it is fried in oil, the filling will gradually solidify when exposed to hot oil, so there is no need to worry about it spilling out.

8. Spread cooking oil evenly in the pan. Spread the pot stickers flatly in the pot and flip them over when the bottom changes color.

9. Then pour an appropriate amount of warm boiling water, cover the pot, and simmer over medium heat.

10. When the juice in the pot is basically reduced, the pot stickers are ready (you can add a few drops of vinegar to the pot when stewing the pot stickers to make the pot stickers more fragrant).
