Good feelings about making dumplings

By Simon Jiang

 

Hi everyone,I enjoied an awesome weekend .my roommates and I invited friends to making dumpling last Sunday.That was amazing . Then,I’ll show you how we made the dumplings.

There are a lot of complicated process to made the dumpling.It took us about half a day to finish it.Actually,my roommates and I haven’t down it before,so we had a kind of exciting and nervous before we start.

At first,my friends and I went to the supermarket nearby to pick out some meterials.We bought pork,celery cabbage,spring onion,garlic,ginger,eggs and flour.These meterals are necessary for making dumpling.

When came back to the dorm,we start for making dumpling wrapper .Because that was the first time to make dumpling,we didn’t sure how much flour we need,we also didn’t know clearly about how much water was enough.But it doesn’t matter.We put an egg into the flour ,and stired it with some water.After a while, we use hand to Knead the dough into smooth balls. Last,we cover the dough and let it rest.

The third step was to make dumpling stuffings. We put the minced pork and cabbage, salt, garic,ginger, spring onions,soy sauce,black pepper ,some rice wine together,and mixed it.That’s the way we made the stuffings.It cost us quite a while to finish it because we should cut vegetables to the chips.

Then, we start to wrap the dumplings. The certain way was that place a small portion of the stuffing into the middle of a wrapper,and wet the edges of the dumpling with water.Then fold the dough over the filling into a half moon shape and pinch the edges.Finally,We put dumplings in the pot.It took about 15 minutes to boiled the dumplings.

Though the taste of dumplings are not as good as which we bought in the market,it’s not bad.After all, there are a lot of fun to make the dumplings,and everyone enjoyed it.

I hope my experience can help you guys know how to make dumplings.Some days later,you can also make it your self.That  will be  really fantastic feelings.
