Every time you visit friends or colleagues’ homes, you’ll find that they all have one or two specialties. But every time it was my turn, I was always short of money. You look particularly embarrassed like this, don't you? So, for the sake of your dignity, come and learn from me how to make fried dumplings with melon rind and pork in icy sauce.

1. Take about 500g of flour, sift it and place it in a bowl

2.1 Slowly roll up the dough with your hands and knead it repeatedly until the dough is smooth (smooth on the surface, smooth on the hands and smooth on the basin). Cover the basin with a lid (the humidity is suitable in summer, otherwise you need to cover it with a wet towel to keep it moist). Let the sugar ferment for 30-40 minutes at room temperature.

3.2 Pour a little warm water (about 40℃, not too hot) into the flour and stir it with chopsticks until all the flour is in small pieces.

4. Wash the melon rind, remove the green outer skin, and grate it into thin strips; wash the pork, cut it into thin strips, and then cut it into small cubes; wash the green onion and ginger and cut them into small pieces

5.2121 Heat the pan and pour a little salad oil on the bottom of the pan (it is best to cover the bottom of the pan after turning the pan)

6. Pour in the minced meat and stir-fry over low heat until the minced meat changes color, releases oil and is slightly dry.

7. Add a little sweet noodle sauce, soy sauce and five-spice powder, stir-fry over low heat until the diced meat is well-seasoned.

8. Pour out the juice from the melon rind, add a little salad oil and stir evenly.

9. Pour the cooled diced meat and chopped green onion and ginger into the melon rind.

10. Finally, add a little salt and mix the filling evenly.

11. After the dough sugar has risen, knead it again until the surface of the dough is smooth and delicate.

12. Sprinkle a little loose flour on the panel and knead the dough into even long strips.

13. Use a knife to cut out even-sized dough pieces. (I learned how to cut from my parents. Hold the knife in your right hand, and place your left hand palm down and parallel to the panel. Press down the long strips, cut with your right hand, and turn your left hand 90 degrees. This way, the cross-sections on both sides of the cut dough pieces are smooth.)

14.Put the cut dough in the palms of your hands and press it into a round shape.

15. Roll the dough into dumpling wrappers with thick center and thin edges.

16. Put a little stuffing on the dough, knead it and wrap the dumplings.

17. Pour a little oil into the pot, turn the pot to make the oil evenly spread on the bottom of the pot, heat it up, and place the dumplings.

18. Mix a little flour and warm water into a uniform noodle soup, pour it along the edge of the pot, turn to medium heat, cover, and fry until the bottom of the dumplings is golden and crispy. Turn off the heat and use a spatula to gently lift up from the edge, and you will see beautiful hollow ice flowers.
