  • Phoenix dumplings Make Tips

    1. It is best to use slightly warm water when kneading the dough for a better texture. 2. The filling should not be marinated too saltily; just a touch of seasoning is enough. Otherwise, the umami of the shrimp and crab roe will be spoiled, and being too salty is not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people; the point is to savor the freshness. 3. Phoenix Eye Dumplings are relatively easy to make, while Four Joy Dumplings require dexterous hands when folding the four holes; the size of the holes should be roughly the diameter of a large pea.
