For middle-aged and elderly people, half of their life can be said to have passed. In the remaining life, all we need to do is enjoy life. Enjoying life starts with the details of life, such as three meals a day. Many middle-aged and elderly people have not had the chance to enjoy many delicacies. Let me introduce to you how to make the dish of fried willow leaf dumplings.

1. Chop the pork into minced meat, add salt, soy sauce, cornstarch and pepper powder and mix well. Soak the mushrooms until soft, cut them into small pieces and add them together with the carrot pieces. Pour them into the minced pork and mix well.

2. Take a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast and water, and knead into a smooth and non-sticky dough. Then roll it into a ball and put it in the bowl. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and let it stand for 1 hour to ferment until it is 1.5-2 times larger.

3. Knead the risen dough again into a non-sticky dough, divide it into several small pieces, roll each piece into a ball, flatten it, and roll it into a round dough sheet that is thick in the middle and thin on the edges.

4. Take a piece of dough and put the meat filling in the middle. Fold the dough in half and pinch the rightmost end tightly.

5. First push the inner dough to the right and pinch it to form the first fold.

6. Then push the inner dough to the right and pinch it to form the second fold.

7. Repeat this process inside and out until the fold is ready.

8. After closing, shape it into a teardrop shape.

9. Put some oil in the pot, heat it up, put the buns in the pot, fry over low heat until the bottom is a little hard, then pour in a thin layer of flour water (covering 1/3 of the buns), turn up the heat slightly, then close the lid and simmer for about 10 minutes until the water is dry.
