To make jiaozi wonton, you must first process the meat into stuffing. This 1 step is the main work and the most important. There are two ways to process meat into minced meat: chopping it manually with a knife and mashing it with the help of a meat grinder. Although the final result is the same, which of the two ways of minced meat is the most delicious jiaozi wonton? I think this is what everyone is most concerned about, but the answer is obvious. It must be that the meat minced by hand with a knife is the best.

Although the meat minced by hand will taste better, it has many disadvantages, such as loud noise, jiaozi upstairs, and the sound of chopping meat can be known to the whole building; It's too tiring. If you chop three or five pounds of meat at a time, it's a big project, which can make your back ache and your wrist unable to lift. If you open a shop to do business, you will use more meat and chop meat by hand, which will really make people tired.

Chopping meat stuffing by hand is too tiring, so in order to reduce the labor intensity, whether it's wrapping jiaozi wonton at home or opening a shop, the best choice is to mince the meat with the help of a machine, which saves time and effort. If you don't have a meat grinder, there are all the places where you sell meat, so you can ask the butcher to help you ground it.

Meat grinders all use the auger technology: the combination of the drum, auger and cutter twists the meat into meat stuffing. Chop up the meat with a rotary reamer, discharge the meat out of the meat grinder by using a auger with a spiral rod under extrusion, and process it into granular meat stuffing with different sizes according to the size of the hole of the discharge drum. Although the meat grinder saves time and energy, its disadvantages are obvious, that is, it is not as delicious as the meat minced by hand, which is why many people prefer to work hard and chop the meat by hand.

Because of the high-speed operation of the machine and the high temperature under extrusion, the flavor and taste of the minced meat are almost worse than those of the minced meat by hand, but in order to save time and effort, we have to use the machine to mince the meat. Although the minced meat twisted by the meat grinder is slightly inferior, it can be adjusted in the following three aspects to make the minced meat more fragrant and reduce the disadvantages brought by the machine. Finally, the jiaozi wonton made by the machine has a meat flavor and flavor.

Jiaozi wonton is usually made with pork stuffing, so take pork as an example to explain.

First, control the proportion of fat and thin pork

1, jiaozi

The fat-thin ratio of dumpling stuffing is generally seven thin and three fat, eight thin and two fat. Jiaozi made of too thin pork will be dry and firewood, and jiaozi made of too fat pork will be too greasy.

Meat stuffing with the right proportion of fat and thin makes jiaozi delicious, and the smell of pork is attractive.

2, wonton

Wonton is divided into big wonton and small wonton, and the meat stuffing of big wonton and dumpling stuffing are basically the same. Focus on the fat-thin ratio of small wonton meat stuffing.

It is best to control the fat/thin ratio of the small wonton meat stuffing at 1 9, so that the prepared meat stuffing has a meat flavor, does not taste hard, and can hold a group.

Of course, some people use whole lean meat to make small wonton. I think it lacks meat flavor, and more processing is needed to make the meat stuffing dry, so it is not recommended to use whole lean meat to make small wonton stuffing.

The proportion of fat and thin meat stuffing of small wonton is well controlled, and the made small wonton has meat flavor and bites the head when it is eaten.

Second, control the particle size of the ground meat.

There are three kinds of machines that can grind meat stuffing: high-speed blender, that is, the cooking machine, whose meat stuffing is too thin and broken, so it is not recommended to use it;

The manual meat grinder has the same operating principle as the electric meat grinder, except that there is no motor, and the meat stuffing is ground by hand. The advantage of this kind of meat grinder is that it is slow and highly imitative of manual meat chopping, but it is obviously too tiring. If the household grinds about a catty of pork at a time, it is recommended to use the manual meat grinder, which is not considered because of the large amount of meat.

Electric meat grinder, that is, the bigger machine we see in the place where meat is sold. It is strongly recommended to grind meat with this machine. Pay attention to the friends who have seen the work of this kind of meat grinder. They must have paid attention to the sieve holes of the meat stuffing. In fact, the sieve holes are large and small, and can be replaced according to the needs.

1, the meat stuffing made in jiaozi should be ground into small granules as much as possible, the size of which is like mung bean, but not too fine. This kind of meat stuffing is more textured, and it will be fragrant after eating.

I usually cut the pork into slender strips first, and use a larger sieve hole to wring the pork twice. Basically, the meat stuffing comes out very well.

2. Making small wonton can make the meat mince worse. Many people make small wonton and grind the pork into minced meat. The pork becomes mushy and has no granular texture. This kind of meat stuffing has no meat flavor, and sometimes even feels that it is not pork. Therefore, the small wonton meat stuffing can be twisted a little thinner than the dumpling stuffing, but it should not be twisted into powder.

I run jiaozi Wonton Store, and the pork stuffing used in jiaozi Wonton is ground in the same way. Both of them are ground twice with a large mesh of a meat grinder, and ground the meat slowly, so as to minimize the adverse effects caused by the high-speed operation of the machine. The effect of doing so has been very good, and the meat flavor is very strong.

The fascia of pork must be removed before it enters the meat grinder. Don't think that if the meat grinder grinds the fascia, you can't eat it. The ground fascia affects the taste as well. Don't be lazy.
