carrot dumplings
Yesterday was my grandfather's 77th birthday. I was raised by my grandfather and grandma, so I have the best relationship with them. After dinner, I chatted with them. They had already eaten the dumplings and steamed dumplings we sent last time. I asked them what they wanted to eat, so I made it quickly today. My grandfather and grandma are really getting older. Listening to them, there were some words or nouns in the middle. They thought about it for a long time before they remembered. My grandma kept saying that I was old and my brain couldn't reflect it. Looking at their hair getting whiter and whiter, I am very sad. Although I understand that everyone has a day when they grow old and leave, but looking at them raising me since I was a child, their backs are getting more and more bent, and their speeches are getting slower and slower. I recall when I was a child, but I am so happy, but I am still very sad. While they are still fine, I should spend more time with them and make more things they want to eat. Grandpa and grandma, please stay with me all the time!

    Tip: When making dumplings, add a spoonful of salt to the water. The dumplings will not stick to the pan. You need the first spoon of carrot water. After mixing in the meat filling, add the second spoon. Although it is more troublesome, it will be easier to operate. If you add water at one time, the meat filling will not be easy to absorb, and the meat filling will absorb the water, and the boiled dumpling meat filling will not dry and will be smoother. Add vegetable oil because grandma said that if you add some oil to the meat filling, it will be tender. I did an experiment by the way. Which one would not easily break the skin when cooked with hot water or cold water?
