How to cook lotus dumplings with meat

Do you often eat out and worry about the high oil content and unhealthy eating habits? It is better to cook by yourself, which is a simple dish of boiled meat lotus buns, which can be made by just stir-frying. Pay attention to reducing the addition of salt, chicken essence and other seasonings, keep the taste light, avoid heavy oil and salt, relieve cardiovascular diseases, and live a healthier life.

1. Dissolve 3 grams of yeast, 1 gram of sugar and 1 gram of salt in warm water. Let it stand for five minutes until the yeast, salt and sugar are fully reacted. Pour into the flour and knead until the dough is smooth, your hands are smooth and the basin is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place.

2. During this time, grind the meat, beat an egg, add chopped green onion and minced ginger, and pour in a little cooking wine.

3. Chop the lotus leaf and squeeze out the water slightly. Then add vegetable oil and mix well. This can prevent the lotus leaf from releasing water while keeping the juice of the lotus leaf from being too dry. Then mix it evenly with the meat filling and add pepper powder, pepper powder, salt, light soy sauce and sesame oil. Just stir well.

4. After the dough has been resting for two hours, poke a hole in the middle of the dough with your finger. If the hole does not bounce back or sink, it means the dough has been fermented. If it rebounds, it means there is not enough time. If it sinks, it means it has been sent too far.

5. Then knead the dough into long strips, cut into small pieces, flatten them, and roll them into bun skins. After wrapping, put them into the steamer, cover the pot and let it stand for 20 minutes for secondary fermentation.

6. After the second fermentation, heat cold water in a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then steam over medium heat for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, and do not open the lid immediately. Let it sit for seven or eight minutes before opening the lid. The fragrant, white and plump buns are ready and can be eaten.
