[Start mixing the dumplings while the water is boiling] This method is suitable for beginners and helps them master the water.

1. Put an appropriate amount of flour in a plastic bowl.

2. Use a spoon to scoop a tablespoon of cold water and evenly pour it into the flour.

3. Tilt the chopsticks at a 45-degree angle, and rub the flour with the chopsticks in small movements, rubbing back and forth in one direction.

4. After the flour and water are mixed, countless irregular small flakes are formed.

5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for about 2 to 3 times until all the flour forms irregular small flakes that do not stick to chopsticks, the bottom of the bowl, or each other. Some powder should be retained, and the flour is now mixed.

6. The flour mixed in this way will make the soup clear.

[After the flour is mixed and the water is boiled, it’s time to add the flour.]

1. Hold the basin with your left hand and hold the chopsticks with your right hand. Use the chopsticks to pick up some noodles and put them into the pot, then use the chopsticks to quickly spread the noodles out.

2. Repeat step 1 several times until all the dough is put into the pot.

3. When the pot boils again, beat the eggs and pour them into the pot.

Tips

[Key points for mixing dumplings]: Speaking of mixing dumplings, Shanxi people are very particular about it, and it takes a lot of knowledge to make it.

1. First of all, when choosing a wash basin, it is best to choose a plastic basin. Because plastic basins are not easy to stick to the bottom, they facilitate the movement of flour.

2. Adding water is also a very important art, which is related to whether the soup is clear or not.

3. If you like thick soup, when water drops into the bowl, rub it back and forth in circles with chopsticks. Most of the water in the bowl will become small lumps, about the size of mung beans, and have a little powder.

4. If you like the soup to be clearer, when water drips into the bowl, always rub the soup back and forth in one direction with the chopsticks. All the flour will form irregular small flakes with a little powder.

5. No matter which method 3 or 4 you use, the lumps and flakes you make must not stick to chopsticks, the bottom of the bowl, or each other. Some powder should be retained, so that the flour is mixed well.

6. Speaking of "mixing", it must not be done like kneading dough, where you add water and then stir it back and forth. Instead, after adding water, tilt the chopsticks at a 45-degree angle and rub the flour with the chopsticks in small movements. Depending on whether the soup is clear or not, choose the appropriate method to rub the flour.

[The following points]:

1. When putting the dough into the pot, do not pour all the dough into the pot at once. Instead, add it little by little into the boiling soup. Hold the basin with your left hand and hold the chopsticks with your right hand. Use the chopsticks to pick up some noodles and put them into the pot, and then use the chopsticks to quickly spread the noodles out.

2. Do not cook the soup for too long.
