Let's make a small siu mai
【Ingredients】 Minced meat, shiitake mushrooms, red dates, ginger, green onions, dumpling skin
【Directions】
After the sticky rice is cooked, serve it on a plate and let it cool for later use.
Pour oil into the pot, add ginger, green onion and fry until fragrant, add minced meat and stir-fry until the meat is white, pour half a bowl of water, pour in light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt and sugar, and boil over high heat for 5 minutes.
While the pot is boiling, the soaked shiitake mushrooms are cut into small dices, and a few red dates are cut into small dices.
The preparations are all done, and the next step is to start wrapping up the siu mai.
In order to save trouble, I bought ready-made dumpling wrappers, which can also be made into dough with flour and water in a ratio of 2:1 and then rolled into a dough.
Take a rice ball and put it in the middle of the dumpling wrapper, and knead it into the shape of siu mai with the tiger's mouth.
Brush the steamer with a layer of oil, arrange the wrapped siu mai neatly, and steam it in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Take it out after steaming.
Delicious family small siu mai is ready, you can freeze a part of the refrigerator after cooling, eat it on the morning of the second day, as long as you put it in the refrigerator the night before, steam for 5 minutes at breakfast or microwave for 1 minute.
Tips:
1. Glutinous rice should be cooked in a rice cooker, and it should be cooked harder, because it has to be steamed in a pot after being filled, otherwise it will not be delicious.
2. When the glutinous rice is stuffed, you must add meat foam or diced meat to make the mushrooms taste more fragrant and the red dates to taste sweeter.
3. Rub the stuffing into a round ball in advance, which can shorten the time of wrapping siu mai, prevent the skin from breaking, and ensure that each siu mai is the same size.
4. Brush a layer of oil on the steamer to prevent the siu mai from sticking to the pan.
