How can I put the crystal shrimp dumplings eaten in Hong Kong-style restaurants on the family table? How to make a crystal clear and chewy jiaozi? Today, I will share with you a slightly improved method for making crystal shrimp dumplings at home.
So what are the secrets and tricks of the transformed crystal shrimp dumplings? What to do at home. How to choose flour, what skills are there in mixing flour, what tricks are there in the process of rolling dumpling skin, and how to adjust dumpling stuffing to taste good? The following are all answers for you.
Shrimp, pork stuffing, dried noodles, corn starch, salt, onion and ginger.
Step 1: Mix the dough.
The first is the choice of noodles. The flour used for crystal shrimp dumpling skin is transparent, and the dumpling skin made of this flour is translucent. A little corn starch is added to the dough, and the ratio of finished noodles to corn starch is about 10: 1, which is used to increase the viscosity of the dough.
Mix the two kinds of flour evenly by hand, mix the flour with boiling water, stir while adding water, that is, hot noodles, and then knead repeatedly, and the live noodles will be crystal clear. Cover the living surface and let it cool.
Remember key words when mixing dough, such as noodles, corn starch, 10: 1, boiled water.
Adjust the shrimp trap
The shrimp dumplings in the restaurant are all whole shrimp, so there is no need to make them so fancy when you eat them at home. Chop the shrimp into pits, and put them in the pork pit according to the ratio of 1: 1, or it doesn't matter if there is more shrimp. Shrimp meat is high in protein and low in fat, and pork is supplemented with a little animal fat, so the aroma will be stronger after mixing.
Add onion and Jiang Mo, then add salt, chicken essence, pepper and sugar to taste. Don't put cooking wine and water in the sink. Stir well until it turns into a gel.
Step 3: Roll the dough.
Take a noodle, cut it longitudinally from the middle, dip some cooking oil in your hand, and then rub the noodle into strips by hand.
Cut into pills with a knife. Note that when we wrap jiaozi and roll skin in this step, we will sprinkle some fine noodles on the chopping board to prevent adhesion. We can't sprinkle spaghetti on the dough.
When a professional chef makes shrimp dumpling skin, he presses the knife surface with his hand on a smooth marble or stainless steel oil pan, and it can be made at one touch. This has certain requirements for technology and venue, so how to do it at home?
Next, let's look at the tips. We need to rub oil on the chopping board and rolling pin, and then the operation will be the same as that of rolling dumpling skin in peacetime. Roll the medicine into a round dumpling skin with a rolling pin.
Step 4: Make shrimp dumplings.
I won't introduce the professional crystal shrimp dumpling wrapping method here. Since it's a family edition, it depends on your mood. You can wrap it as you like, just wrap it as you usually do in jiaozi. Put the wrapped shrimp dumplings in a plate with oil at the bottom.
Step 5: Steamed dumplings in the pot.
Boil water in a pot. After the pot is boiled, put the shrimp dumplings into the pot. Do not steam for too long. It may take seven or eight minutes after the fire is filled with gas.
Step 6: Take out the pot.
Mastering the above skills and practices, I believe you can also make delicious and beautiful crystal shrimp dumplings at home.
