Making dumplings

1059 views. 2010-2-23 08:40


Dumpling is a traditional Chinese food. On the lunar New Year' s Day, most families make a lot of delicious dumplings. To make them, follow this easy process.
The first step is to mix the flour with water. When the dough is ready, we can begin to make dumpling wrappers. We use a rolling pole to roll the dough into small, thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook. When the wrappers are done, it' s time to prepare the filling. Usually, we use meat such as beef or mutton, and some vegetables such as cabbage or carrots for filling. You may actually choose whatever you like to put into it. We must chop those things into small pieces. Then put some salt, oil and other condiments into it and stir it evenly. When all these preparations are done, we can start making dumplings. First put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper. Then stick the two opposite sides together and then the rest. Don' t just cover the filling with the wrappers. The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship, because when they are boiling in the pan, they look like ships sailing in the sea. The smell can make your mouth water.

Wow mouth watering dumplings. Oh, it is so easy to make the dough? Just flour and water? It will not break easily? I must try it because before I always buy the dough and make 30 dumplings in one shot.

Of course, it needs the right amount of water and flour to Mix well and knead well, I think it is not easy to finish and it needs enough experience. I have seen my mother done well, but I have never suceeded myself.

Ok then i better buy the dough instead of making it myself. Wrapping the filling the duplings is indeed fun. I cut and prepare the mixture. Later me and my friend wrap up the dumplings, but somehow, I can't wrap and shape it nice and some end up broken while boiling. However, it is fun anyway. Dip it in some vinegar and sauce, wow so tasty. Yummy yummy.
