Method for making wonton skin
Add cold water and a little alkali to flour to make dough. Divide the whole flour into small pieces not exceeding two inches square, add dry flour and roll it out as much as possible, but not to a certain extent. At this time, you can roll corn starch into any required thickness without flour, roll it into thin skin and cut it into 6CM square pieces.
It is best to put an egg in the dough. The dough should not be too soft, but it should be thinner than the rolling surface. After the dough is rolled out, take out the rolling pin, cut the dough into 8 cm wide with a knife, then dust the dough one by one, and then cut it with a knife. Before pulling out the rolling pin, sprinkle more flour on the dough to prevent adhesion.
2 The practice of stuffing is because the skin is thin and it is not suitable for packing large-size ingredients, so it is necessary to chop the ingredients; But for aesthetic reasons, shrimps are usually shelled and not chopped. In addition to chopping, another technique is "smashing", which is often used for flat food. But the most common method is to use mechanical grinding.
The steps are as follows:
1. Add one egg per catty of meat stuffing and mix well with salt, chicken essence, soy sauce and sugar.
2. Take an onion and crush it with a pulverizer, and mix well with the meat stuffing.
3. Grind a large piece of ginger, a handful of onion, three or four spoonfuls of shrimp or shrimp skin into powder with a pulverizer, spread it on a plate, put a proper amount of oil in the pot, heat it to 180 degrees, pour it into the plate, mix it well with chopsticks, cool it slightly, and mix it with meat.
Tip:
You can also add minced chicken, minced beef, Chinese cabbage, celery, leek, diced mushrooms (soaked in water) and diced shrimps (not too rotten) into the wonton stuffing to form various special wonton fillings.
