Shanghai pot stickers
As a Shanghainese born in the 1980s ~ Pot stickers are a very common and popular breakfast, and Shanghai pot stickers are different from those in the north and have their own characteristics. Many people, like me, think pot stickers are difficult to make =.= Today, at my wife's strong request, we tried making pot stickers at home as a breakfast to make up for the Qixi Festival, and the result was a big success. The taste was really the same as the one I ate outside ~ except for the lack of jelly

Steps for Shanghai pot stickers
1
You can buy pork ground meat, but my wife thinks it still has a texture, so we chop it with a knife. Don't chop the meat together. At the same time, you can make onion and ginger water. This is a key step in determining whether the pot paste is delicious or not. You can hate the pot paste when you eat it outside. Add onion and ginger directly to the meat, which will affect the taste and taste.2
After chopping the meat, season, add salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, cooking wine, pepper powder, appropriate amount, and finally add onion and ginger water. Add a raw egg (we didn't add it) Use chopsticks to stir the meat evenly in a clockwise direction and leave it for about 15 minutes to allow the meat to absorb the flavor.3
Wrap pot stickers... We'll treat it as dumplings.. Everyone knows it…The only thing you pay attention to is to be able to stand still.4
Use a pan to put a small amount of oil on high heat (the induction cooker we use is 200 degrees Celsius). After the oil is heated, add the pot stickers to make them more compact and arrange them well until the bottom is a little browned. Immediately add water to cover the lid, turn the heat down and turn the pot to allow the pot stickers to be evenly heated. After the water in the pot is dried, add water to cover the lid. The fire can be reduced to prevent the paste from drying. Finally, add water once, turn on medium heat (160 degrees Celsius), wait for the water to dry, add chopped green onion, and then turn the pot several times. After you smell the aroma of green onions, you can lift it up.
