Chinese Dumpling - 饺子


After having some Chinese friends, then only I realised that Northern Chinese have dumpling during Chinese New Year.

Ingredients:

A.  Dumpling wrapper
B.  Filling

Procedure:


Knead dough until smooth

Roll it into a log

Cut the log into pieces

Turn pieces so that they face upwards as above

Take 1 piece and put on chopping board

'Piak!' Good idea?

Slightly flatten it a little bit more with rolling pin

Add 1 tbsp of filling

Pleat it and it is done.

Cooking tips:

  1. Fill a pot which is enough to cover the dumpling and boil it.  Wait for the water to boil.
  2. Add the dumpling, leave the pot open, don't close the lid.
  3. When the water start boiling, add 1 bowl of cold water.  Wait for the water to boil again.
  4. Repeat until after adding 3rd bowl of water.  When the water boil, they are done.

Note:  These dumpling freeze well in the freezer.  Freeze it before cooking.
