Mutton and carrot dumplings
Do you have any children in your family who don't like meat?

No? Then you are really lucky. This is so worry-free that you don't have to rack your brains and worry about getting your children to eat some meat. My baby has not liked meat since he was a child. In order to let my child eat some meat, I have worried a lot.
My child's aunt sent a sheep hind leg from Ningxia. When I saw the place of origin, I knew it was a good thing. We have to do everything possible to make up for the children. Mutton can resist cold and nourish the body. It is most suitable for consumption in winter. Although it can be said to be spring now, the climate is still quite cold. In order to allow the children to eat more meat and warm it properly, I took all the meat on the hind legs of the sheep and froze it, dividing it into a small bag for every half-catty, preparing to mix it with different vegetables every time to make stuffing.

This time it is served with mutton and carrot filling. After eating, the child said,"Mom, return this stuffing next time. Don't change it." I was secretly happy that the child did not dislike it, which proved that the meat in the dumplings was still acceptable.

  • Mutton and carrot dumplings Make Tips

    1 The time of kneading dough and blending meat filling can be interspersed to save time. After preparing the meat filling materials, start kneading the dough, and start preparing the meat filling when you wake up. In this way, the dough is awakened, the meat filling is mixed, and you can directly roll the skin and start wrapping. 2 Zanthoxylum bungeanum soaked in boiling water is used as a raw material for meat filling and water because the spicy taste of Zanthoxylum bungeanum can suppress the mutton smell. Adding white pepper has the same effect.
