You should know that a variety of delicious food will definitely be beneficial to the physical and mental development of children. Well, let me introduce to you how to make jade dumplings.

1. Wash the pork half a day in advance and cut it into small cubes; chop the green onion and ginger. Mix the fresh shrimp into the chopped meat, then add a spoonful of salt, minced ginger, chopped green onion, light soy sauce, pepper powder (pepper water is also fine), pepper, chicken essence, MSG, and 50 grams of cooked peanut oil and mix well.

2.12 Chop the chives and set aside.

3.21 Wash and chop the cabbage. Add a little salt to the cabbage to reduce the water content.

4.1 Wash the spinach, blanch it and rinse it with cold water.

5.2 Squeeze the water out of the cabbage, put it into the leek, add cooked peanut oil, mix well, add salt, and mix well again. Then add the marinated meat filling, add appropriate amount of chicken essence and MSG, and mix well.

6.1 Put flour in a bowl, add a small spoonful of salt and pureed spinach. Pour a little cold water into the container containing the pureed spinach, and slowly add it to the flour in several times. Stir with chopsticks while adding until it forms a dough. A little dry powder may remain at the bottom of the bowl.

7.2 Use a food processor to puree.

8.1 After the dough has risen, cut out a piece and roll it into strips.

9.2 Knead the flour into dough. After it rests for ten minutes, continue kneading it into a smooth dough. Put it into a bowl, cover it and let it rest for another 20 minutes.

10. Use a knife to cut the strips into pieces. Cut one first, roll it up half a circle and cut it again, then roll it back and cut again, and repeat this process.

11. Sprinkle with dry powder and flatten the dough with your hands.

12. Use a rolling pin to roll out dumpling skins that are slightly thicker in the middle and thinner around the edges.

13. Put the appropriate amount of stuffing in the dumpling skin

14. Fold it in half and pinch the middle of the skin.

15. Use the index fingers and thumbs of your left and right hands to pinch the left and right edges of the dumplings respectively, and then pinch and squeeze them towards the middle with a little force, and the dumplings will be wrapped.

16. After the water boils, add a spoonful of salt and slowly put the dumplings into the pot. During the cooking process, use a spoon to gently push the water along the edge of the pot to let the rotation of the water drive the dumplings. This way the dumplings won’t stick to the bottom of the pot and won’t become mushy.

17. Cover the pot. After the dumplings are boiled, pour a small bowl of cold water into it and then cover the pot again. Repeat this three times, which is called "three points and three opens".

18. After boiling for the third time, pour a small bowl of cold water and serve the dumplings.
