To say that meat swallow has a very important position in Fuzhou snacks. At the wedding reception in Fuzhou, there must be a soup called "Taiping Yan", which is made of meat swallow and quail eggs (traditionally duck eggs, meaning "duck eggs-minced"). If it is a wedding reception, it is a big dish. You can't eat it when it's served. It was not until the newlyweds came to this table to make a toast that the groom picked up the shallots in the "Taiping Banquet" with chopsticks before eating them. I don't know where this origin comes from, but this dish is not only a special snack, but also a snack full of Fuzhou culture.

The practice of swallowing meat?

Take out a stack of dried swallow skins and cut them in half in the middle.

Take half of it, this "folded" swallow skin is three folds, cut two knives along the crease, and cut the dried swallow skin into the size of wonton skin.

Cut all the dried swallows one by one in the same way. Unused dried swallows, sealed and put back in the refrigerator.

Take clean gauze and wet it with water for later use. How about this cloth? It should be wet, but it must not be wet enough to drip on your hands.

Put the freshly cut swallows on the chopping block piece by piece, and never overlap.

Spread the wet gauze just prepared on the dried swallows' skin.

If the cloth is not wet enough to stick to the dried swallows' skins, spray water on the wet cloth with a watering can to make the wet cloth stick to the dried swallows' skins and make the dried swallows' skins fully absorb water.

I bought water chestnut specially.

Peel it first, then flatten it with a kitchen knife, and then chop it. Don't chop it into mud.

Prepare meat stuffing: minced pork, chopped green onion and an egg.

Add the horseshoe just cut. Pay attention to fish and shrimp.

Seasoning is salt, chicken essence, soy sauce and cooking wine. Mix it all well, and it is the meat stuffing.

After processing the meat stuffing, look back at the swallow skin just now. It has softened after being wet with wet cloth.

Take a swallow skin and put the meat in it.

Wrap it up like wonton.

The meat swallow is wrapped.

The meat swallow is wrapped like wonton, but it is not made like wonton! The wrapped meat swallows are steamed on a frying pan.

Boil water in a pot. After the water boils, put the colander into the pot and start steaming. When it is medium-cooked, you can take it out.

Steamed meat swallow spread out, cool. At this point, the meat was swallowed. Put the chilled meat swallow in the refrigerator and take it away when you want to eat it. Cooking method is the same as wonton. Put the meat swallow in a boiling water pot, cook it with high fire, scoop it up and put it in a soup bowl, and sprinkle with celery powder or chives. Add appropriate amount of shrimp oil (or refined salt), Shaoxing wine and monosodium glutamate to the soup, and then drizzle with sesame oil.
