Dumplings are delicious because the filling is well-seasoned, but if the dumplings are made in front of a large group of people, they must be unique in order to win praise. There is a kind of dumplings that are very beautiful in appearance, transparent like jade, and these dumplings can only be made with crystal dumpling skins. It is not difficult to make crystal dumplings, but it may be a little difficult for people who do not cook often. The following are some tips on how to make them.

1. Crystal Dumplings

Main ingredients: Dough: cornstarch, tapioca starch, shrimp, fatty pork, pepper

practice:

1. Mix the cornstarch and tapioca starch evenly, pour in boiling water (the water must be boiled), and stir thoroughly with chopsticks until it becomes snowflake-shaped. After the flour paste has cooled slightly, knead it into dough with your hands, add lard and knead it again, cover with a wet cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

2. Soak the black fungus and mung bean vermicelli in advance and set aside. Remove the heads, shells and shrimp threads of the prawns, chop them into small pieces, and mix them with the chopped fat. Cut black fungus, mung bean vermicelli and carrot into small pieces. Mix pork fat, shrimp, sweet corn kernels, black fungus, carrots, mung bean vermicelli, salt, pepper, chicken essence and sesame oil to make the filling.

3. Knead the proofed dough again, roll it into long strips, and divide it into 8 to 16 equal portions. After flattening, use a rolling pin to gently roll it into dumpling skin that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges.

4. Put the prepared fillings into the dough and wrap it into a raw crystal dumpling

5. Place the raw crystal dumplings in a steamer that has been greased with a little oil, bring to a boil over high heat, then switch to medium heat and steam for six minutes.

   practice:

1. When kneading the dough, because starch is used, the water used naturally cannot be cold water. As we all know, starch plus cold water will not produce dough, so boiling water is needed here. Add water while stirring rapidly.

2. After kneading the dough, set it aside to cool for a while.
