Chinese Dumplings

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make Chinese dumplings? Pork tenderloin cut into medium pieces against the fibers and scroll through a meat grinder or chop in a blender with onions. Season the minced meat with salt and pepper, add ginger and chopped dill, mix with your hands so that it becomes homogeneous. Ginger can be taken not only dried in powder, but also fresh - then it needs to be crushed with a knife. You can also add cold water to the minced meat for more juiciness.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix flour with starch and salt, sift through a strainer into a convenient deep bowl. Add cold water, knead a smooth dough - first with a spoon, then with your hands. It is not necessary to knead it for a very long time, since the dough will not benefit from this. Now leave the dough to rest under the cling film for 20 minutes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Roll a thin flagellum from the dough and cut it into small circles of approximately the same size. Roll out a thin cake from each with a rolling pin - the thinner, the better.

5. Step 4:

   

   Roll a small ball out of the minced meat and put it in the middle of the tortilla. If the minced meat turned out to be runny, then take the tortilla in your hand and spread the filling with a teaspoon. Then you need to assemble and pinch the edges at the top, forming a bag of dough. Do this with all the blanks.

6. Step 5:

   

   We will cook dumplings for a couple - you can just boil them, but they turn out tastier and softer for a couple. To do this, I used a slow cooker, but you can also take a steamer or a mantyshnitsa. Turn on the slow cooker, pour a little water into the bowl and add a couple of pinches of salt. Put the mode "on steam", lubricate a plate with holes with vegetable oil, transfer the dumplings to it and close the lid. Wait for the signal.

   At the end of cooking, turn off the slow cooker and put the hot dumplings on a wide dish. Serve with soy sauce or whatever your heart desires. Bon appetit!
