How to make cucumber dumplings

Dumplings are a common food for people living in the north. Dumplings are the most festive food. Every household eats dumplings during the Spring Festival. This has been a tradition in my country since ancient times. Dumplings represent reunion and family happiness. The fillings of dumplings are also varied, and most vegetables and meats can be used as fillings. Although we rarely eat cucumber as a filling, it can be made into dumplings.

Cucumber is one of the most commonly consumed vegetables by the people. It is crisp, tender, fragrant, delicious and nutritious. It contains a variety of vitamins, making it an excellent product for skin care and beauty. It can effectively fight skin aging, reduce the formation of wrinkles, and prevent and treat cheilitis and angular cheilitis. Because it also contains trace elements such as chromium, it has the effect of lowering blood sugar. The bitter substance at the tail of the cucumber also has anti-cancer effects, and has the effects of clearing heat, quenching thirst, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling.
