There is a kind of dumpling in our local area, called live stuffed dumplings, which is made of cooked meat, the pork belly is cut into small diced meat and fried, and the stuffing is made with leeks, fungus, and vermicelli, that is, live filling. I never know its origin and origin, and I don't know which gourmand invented it, the first time I ate live stuffed dumplings, I was attracted by its delicious flavor and endless aftertaste.
Live stuffed dumplings, because when making fillings, the meat filling absorbs the fat after being fried and becomes fluffy, and the fungus also becomes crisp and thick after soaking due to its own characteristics, so you have to roll out thin and big skin to wrap dumplings with them, and the skin is thin, so that the dumplings can be made without breaking the skin, and there is only one choice: that is, use dumpling powder and noodles!
Dumpling flour is a kind of flour, ordinary flour is all-purpose flour, dumpling flour is high-gluten flour, dumplings made with dumpling special flour are not easy to open the skin, break the skin or muddy soup during the cooking process, and the boiled dumplings will not stick together for a long time on the plate. The noodle soup is clear and non-sedimentary, the dumpling skin is white and translucent, shiny and soft, and the taste is delicate, refreshing, non-sticky and chewy. In the past, dumplings were wrapped with ordinary flour, and the dumpling skin was black and easy to break, and this summer the supermarket dumpling powder was promoted, and a bag of 10 catties of dumpling powder was bought to give pure water or a noodle bowl, so while tasting dumplings, there were also a number of noodles and bowls of different colors and varieties.
