How to make fresh meat pot stickers

Many people are the only child in their families, and they grow up under the protection of their parents. After becoming adults and leaving the care of their parents, many of them no longer know how to eat because there is no one to cook for them. Faced with such a reality, you definitely don't want to starve to death, so you have to do it yourself. Now, I will teach you how to make fresh meat pot stickers.

1. The dough for making dumplings and pot stickers should be kneaded softer. Cover the dough with a lid and let it rest for 20 minutes.

2.121 After chopping the meat, add starch, salt, minced ginger, five-spice powder, white pepper powder, chicken essence and cooking wine and marinate for half an hour.

3.212 After chopped green onion, put it in a bowl, pour sesame oil and mix evenly. Sesame oil can remove the pungent smell of green onion and make the green onion taste more fragrant.

4. After 20 minutes, take it out and knead it a few times until it becomes a smooth dough.

5. Use your hands to roll the dough into a long strip.

6.1 Dip both ends of the cut kimono in flour and press them into a round shape with the palm of your hand.

7.2 Cut the dough into equal-sized pieces.

8. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 0.2 cm thick sheet.

9.Mix the green onions and minced meat evenly.

10. Wrap it into a willow leaf shape, or just stick the top. It takes both hands to wrap it, but unfortunately no one helped me take the picture. Next time I will take a picture of the specific wrapping method. In fact, although it looks troublesome, it is very simple to wrap.

11. Heat the pan over low heat and add more oil. When it is 50% hot (you can feel the heat when you put your hand on it), put the pot stickers in. Don't rush to add the flour water at this time. Fry the pot stickers on low heat and shake the pan to prevent the pot stickers from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Fry on low heat for 1 to 2 minutes.

12. The ratio of flour to water is 1 to 9.

13. Pour the flour water in until it covers one third of the pot stickers. Cover with a clear glass lid. (It's still a small fire at this time)

14. When the water is almost dry, open the lid and fry on low heat for 2 minutes.

15. When all the water is fried away, you can serve. The pot stickers made in this way will not stick to the pan and will have a very crispy texture. It’s also easy to wash the pot!

No matter what you do, you need to work hard to improve your skills, and the same is true for cooking.
