fried dumpling
Pot sticker (translated as PotSticker on Baidu, translated as PanFriedDumpling in the UK and Australia) is a kind of fried fillings. Most of them use pork fillings as a regular product and are served with different fresh vegetables according to the season. Generally, the pot stickers are moon-bud shaped and have a dark yellow bottom, which is very crispy. The shapes of pot stickers vary from place to place. In addition to the crescent shape, Tianjin pot stickers are most famous for their badd-on fire.

Legend has it that the Empress Dowager Cixi liked to eat dumplings very much, but she refused to eat them once they were cold. Therefore, the imperial kitchen had to keep cooking hot dumplings and throw away the cold dumplings. One day, Cixi went to the back garden to admire flowers and smelled a fragrance coming from outside the palace walls. So he walked out of the palace curiously and saw someone frying dumplings with golden noodles. After tasting it, he felt that the dumplings were crispy and juicy and quite delicious. Later, I learned that these were discarded dumplings in the imperial kitchen. Because they were cold and stuck together, they were not easy to cook with water, so they were fried and eaten hot. By accident, the discarded cold dumplings became an unexpected delicacy.

    Dip it with some vinegar and take a bite. There are so many shrimps. Unfortunately, most meat meats in the UK are not fat, so there is not much soup. Next time I make it, make sure to add the pork ribs soup jelly I keep in the refrigerator so that there will be soup.
