How to make pork and cabbage pie

As someone who has been spoiled since childhood, you definitely can’t cook by yourself. When you grow up and go out, you also want to cook a dish by yourself. Although there are so many recipes, the steps and methods are so short that you can’t make them well no matter how hard you try. Don’t give up, because today I will show you how to make pork and cabbage pie.

1. Knead the dough first. Put the flour into a bowl and slowly add water while stirring with chopsticks until it is almost formed into small dough balls. When there is less dry flour, knead the dough with your hands.

2.12 Use your hands to knead the dough into a ball, knead it evenly, put it on the chopping board, cover it with the dough bowl, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

5.2 Now prepare the pork filling. Add chopped green onion and ginger, add salt, cooking wine, white pepper powder, sugar, and light soy sauce, mix well, then add sesame oil. The sesame oil must be added last so that it can cover the flavor of the marinade. If sesame oil is added first, the aroma of the subsequent condiments will not easily enter the filling. Another classic of old Beijing is the water-beaten stuffing. The buns, dumplings and pies made with water-beaten stuffing are all clumping together and not loose. The meat filling is very filling and not greasy. But don't add too much water. Add water in small amounts while stirring quickly in one direction with chopsticks until the meat filling becomes slightly sticky. You can also use the juice squeezed out of the cabbage to season the meat filling. If it is not enough, add more water to make it more flavorful.

6. Take out the dough that has been proofed, roll it into long strips, and pinch it into small pieces just like making buns or dumplings. Each piece should be about 25 grams. If your frying pan is big enough, you can pinch it into larger pieces. Then roll it into a crust, thicker in the middle and thinner around the edges, and put in the fillings.

7. Wrap the fillings in the dough and fold them one by one like making dumplings.

8. The shape of the buns

9. Then sprinkle some flour on the chopping board, place the buns with the folds facing down, and press them down with your fingers.

10. Then use a rolling pin to gently roll it a few times so that the filling inside will be more even. Don't roll it too hard, otherwise it will break the skin.

11. Make other pies according to the above method. Light the fire, pour a little oil into the frying pan and start making pancakes. The fire should be medium or low, as high heat will cause the pancakes to burn. When one side of the pie crust turns golden brown, turn it over. Watch the pie crust bulge out, turn it over again, and then turn it over again when it bulges out. Do this 3 times and then serve.

Whether you are a novice or an old hand at cooking, once you see the specific method of making pork and cabbage pie, you will definitely be able to make it on your own. So, put aside your worries and take action now. I believe you will be able to bring "delicious food" out of the pot soon.
