【Techniques for adjusting the meat filling】
1. No matter what kind of meat filling you mix, you must remember this order, which is 1 salt, 2 water and 3 oil. Add salt first to make the meat fully flavored.
2. If you want the meat filling to be tender and juicy, you can play pepper water, or you can play green onion and ginger water, which can not only make the meat filling tender and juicy, but also add flavor to the meat filling, killing two birds with one stone. The proportion of water is also very important, 1 pound of meat filling is enough to beat 3 taels of water.
3. Finally, hot oil should be added, the aroma of hot oil is stronger, and the taste is more layered. After adding oil, the meat filling has a more oily taste and can also lock in moisture, so that the dumplings are tender and juicy.
