How to make Northeastern dumplings

Going out to eat every day, to be honest, the food at the food stalls is not necessarily clean, and it’s easy to get bored with it. In fact, you can learn to cook by yourself. The editor will introduce Northeastern dumplings to you. You can make them yourself according to the steps below.

1. Mix about 1 pound of flour and cold water together until it is moderately soft, knead it into a smooth dough, cover it with wet gauze and let it rise for about half an hour.

2. Use a knife to cut or pinch the dough into several small pieces, then roll them into round strips with a diameter of about 3 cm.

3. Cut into small pieces with a knife or by hand. (I didn’t learn how to pull the noodles with my hands, so I could only cut them with a knife. I cut horizontally, then rolled the noodles 90 degrees and cut again.)

4. Then flatten these small dough pieces with your palm, turn the skin with your left hand, and use a rolling pin in your right hand to roll them into dumpling skins that are slightly thicker in the middle and thinner around the edges.

5. While the dough is resting, pick and wash 6 leaves of Chinese cabbage, 10 mushrooms and 5 green onions, chop them, add two tablespoons of cooking oil and let it sit for about 5 minutes, then add two tablespoons of salt and mix well.

6. Add chopped ginger, two spoons of cooking wine, an egg, two spoons of salt, a spoon of pepper powder, a spoon of Sichuan pepper powder, half a spoon of chicken essence and MSG to the minced meat and stir in one direction.

7. Squeeze out some water from the marinated cabbage, add in the mixed meat filling and mix well.

8. Put the meat filling in the middle of the skin, pinch the center first, then pinch the two sides, and then squeeze the edges of the dumpling skin from the middle to both sides to form a crescent shape.

9. I also made some dumplings for pot stickers.

10. Bring the cold water to a boil, put the wrapped dumplings into the pot and use the reverse side of a colander to move them along the edge of the pot in one direction to prevent the dumplings from sticking. When the water boils, add a little cold water and bring it back to the boil. Repeat this process two or three times until the dumplings float to the surface.

11. Take out the cooked dumplings and put them on a plate. Pour a dish of aged vinegar on them and dip them in it.

12. These are the pot sticker dumplings I made.
