Cooking Steps
Step1:Peel and wash all the vegetables. Then put them in the sun to dry. The purpose is to remove water. Wash pork. Use kitchen paper to absorb water and put it into refrigerator freezer for 3 hours. The purpose is to cut into meat stuffing conveniently (never freeze into popsicle to cut). Mention it. You can't use pure lean meat for dumplings, because they are dry and woody. The best ratio is four to six. If you want to be healthy, it's three to seven.
Step2:Drain the mushroom for 3 minutes. Take it out and squeeze out some water. Other vegetables should be dried for at least 3 hours (if time permits, it is better to dry them in the morning and eat them in the evening, or at noon the next day). Dumplings are most afraid of water. As soon as water comes out, it can't cover the skin. It's easy to break the skin. Once the skin is broken, the dumplings will be destroyed. It's the most tiring to cut by hand. I use the manual crusher. It's not like the electric one. It's convenient
Step3:Boil the star anise, prickly ash, cumin, clove and cinnamon into seasoning water with hot water. The purpose is to get out the fishy smell of meat. Chop the meat that has been frozen for 3 hours into minced meat (the frozen meat is very easy to chop). This is the dried minced meat. Add the seasoning water to the meat a little bit, and stir in one direction until the minced meat feels as smooth as cream, And chopsticks can't be poured in. If it's too dry, the meat will be firewood. It's like eating sawdust. If it's too thin, it's not easy to pack. And it's easy to break the skin. At this time, add in the soy sauce, thirteen spices, salt, chicken powder, and mix well. (the taste is adjusted according to your own situation. After adding the seasoning, you must stir it for a period of time to make the mince taste delicious.)
Step4:Mix all the vegetables together (not in the meat, but separately). Then pour in the cooking oil. Make sure it is not too little. Wrap the vegetables to prevent the vegetables from contacting with the salt. Add thirteen spices, chicken powder, a small amount of salt and mix well. Finally, mix the meat and vegetables.
Step5:You don't have to say to make dumplings. Of course, it's best to roll your own skin. But if you don't have time, you can buy dumpling skin. Be sure to pay attention. The dumpling skin should not be too big. In addition, it should be thinner and wetter. Otherwise, it's difficult to make dumplings. My dumplings are made in the north. Squeeze out with both hand

Cooking tips:1. The stuffing can't come out of water. Otherwise, it won't be wrapped. It will crack. In this way, the stuffing will rot when boiled. All the flavor will be gone. 2. Meat and vegetables can be mixed only after seasoning. Otherwise, vegetables will come out of water. 3. Make sure the deep water is wide. Don't cook a lot of dumplings for the convenience of next time. It's easy to overcook or stick to the pot. 4. It's better to chop the meat by hand. It has the meat's granular feeling. Otherwise, the taste is not good. 5. Vegetables should not be too thin. They should have a sense of granule. Only when they are eaten can they be clear. 6. After cleaning, the vegetables should be dried for at least 4 hours. The purpose is to reduce the water content of the vegetables without water. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
