During this period of crazy dumpling making, I suddenly thought one day that the ingredients of the season should be lotus root. Ask Mom - can lotus root make dumplings? My mother said - you can try So I went through the menu and found that it was really OK. Seriously. For southerners, such dumplings are really strange. Even. It is impossible to appear in the living city. But after trying, I found it was really delicious. So far, I have another good friend in my dumpling series.
Step1:Wash and peel the lotus root. Slice about 23mm Wide. Soak in water. Wash off the starch on the surface.
Step2:Drain the lotus root slices washed with water and cut them into small pieces.
Step3:Cut the onion and ginger. Add the diced lotus root.
Step4:Add minced pork, salt, chicken essence, starch, a little water and edible oil (a little more oil, because less oil in lotus root will be more astringent). Stir to the image.
Step5:Take a tablespoon of stuffing and put it in the middle. Draw a semicircle on the dumpling skin with your fingers. Pinch it in the middle of the fold. Then fold up both ends and pinch it at the same time.
Step6:I'm from this method pack. Everyone has different ways. Give full play. In fact, as long as it can be sealed. Ha ha ha
Step7:Spray some water on the top of the dumplings after they are arranged to ensure that the dumpling skin will not be too dry. Steam in cold water for about 15 minutes. Then you can get out of the pot. I can't describe the delicious taste of this dumpling. You can try it when lotus root is in season.
