The scallion and meat filling is delicious and juicy. It is a very good choice whether it is used to make buns, dumplings or other ingredients. However, sometimes pepper water is used to mix the scallion and meat filling. Do you know why? In fact, the reason is very simple. Most meat fillings have a fishy smell.

The secret is a bowl of pepper water. This was told to me by a chef. Using pepper water to season beef and mutton fillings can remove the mutton smell, enhance the flavor, and give them a smooth and tender taste. The effect is particularly significant. Soak the peppercorns in hot water for 2 hours in advance.

I used minced beef I bought. If you don't mind the trouble, it would be better to chop the stuffing with a whole piece of beef yourself. To prepare the beef stuffing, green onions and ginger are indispensable. There is a saying: If you want the stuffing to be fragrant, put more green onions and ginger.

Put the minced meat in a larger container so that it is easier to stir when mixing. Add cooking wine, light soy sauce, minced fresh ginger, black pepper and a small amount of salt to the minced beef, mix well and marinate for a while.

A lot of chopped green onions are needed to mix the beef filling. Just add a little bit (or nothing) before mixing to prevent the heat generated during the mixing process from changing the taste of the chopped green onions.

Gradually add the soaked pepper water into the minced beef, stirring clockwise while adding until the meat filling becomes thick and firm. Add at least 250 grams of pepper water to 500 grams of beef. I added 300 milliliters of pepper water.

I’m not used to eating dumplings filled purely with meat, so I like to add some vegetables to the meat, so I used two carrots and grated them into shreds.

The nutrients in carrots are fat-soluble, so they should be stir-fried with oil in advance, so that the vegetables and beef can be cooked at the same time.

Add the stir-fried shredded carrots into the minced meat, then add appropriate amount of sesame oil and salt and mix well.
