Hong Kong-style crystal shrimp dumplings

Hong Kong-style crystal shrimp dumplings

Crystal shrimp dumplings are must-order refreshments in Hong Kong-style tea restaurants and hotels. I like them very much, but the so-called crystal shrimp dumplings I eat every time I go on a business trip or travel abroad taste completely wrong, so I have long wanted to learn crystal shrimp dumplings. <br />The success of shrimp dumplings has a lot to do with the skin. While the skin is transparent, it must be moderately soft and soft, and it must be springy and refreshing. The filling must bring out the fresh sweetness and juicy taste of the shrimp itself, and it must also have aroma. So horseshoe and mushroom powder is an indispensable ingredient. Shrimp itself does not contain any oil, so fat pork and lard can add to the juicy and tender taste of the filling. <br />Chinese food has always been made with pastry dough. The stuffing master said that a strict gram count is needed, but the difficulty of Chinese food lies in the seasoning. For the same ingredient, different places of origin and seasons will lead to the moisture content, texture and taste of the ingredients themselves. There will be differences, so the seasoning must be increased or decreased according to the condition of the ingredients, and even how to cook it is decided based on the condition of the ingredients. <br />The more skilled the master will see, touch, smell, etc. first feel the ingredients before deciding what to use them for. <br />Deciding is an inscrutable matter, and generally cooking at home is just to satisfy the taste of your family, so you only need to make your own decisions based on your family's taste. <br />However, the materials cannot be omitted, because if you are missing, you will not have authentic taste.

Jiang Qingfu, the creator of "Jiang (gan) Mao Dumplings", carried loads of dumplings to sell dumplings in the Xiaonanmen area of Anqing during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. This dumpling is made of black pig hind leg meat in mountainous areas, served with shrimp meat, and made with pickled mustard. The dumplings are cooked with stewed chicken sauce or bone chicken. It has a unique flavor of thin skin, tender meat and fresh soup. Because Jiang Qingfu has a tuft of white hair on his neck, he is nicknamed "Jiang Mao", so he has the name "Jiang Mao Dumplings". In the third year of the Republic of China (1914), the "Jiang Wanchun" dumpling shop was opened. Its descendants inherited the business and its business has been prosperous for a long time. Jiangmao Dumplings are a kind of riverside snacks among Anhui snacks. They are called dumplings, but they are actually wontons.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are a classic home-cooked dish, so tomato and egg dumplings are also absolutely classic, nothing to say! <br /><br />I imagined a method myself and dared to practice it. <br /><br />Unexpectedly, the experiment was very successful, and I really found a trick to be less juicy. <br /><br />The method is created, and if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence! <br />I can't wait to write it and share it with everyone! <br />In the future, those who like to eat tomato dumplings will be blessed!

Whenever I have time on weekends, I will stew a pot of beef. After stewing, cut it into small pieces and freeze it in the refrigerator. In the following week, no matter how busy the time is and tight the meat dishes are guaranteed. Whether you stir-fry, roast or fry it, it will always bring me a variety of very fast, nutritious and delicious dishes. Even if you slice the stewed beef and dip it in sauce to directly taste the original flavor of the beef, it is a great enjoyment.
