How to Make Dumplings

Chine food is very famous in many countries. One of the most

special and traditional food is dumpling. Dumplings are not only tasted

good but also easy to make.

The first step is to make the filling. You can choo what you favorite,

such as pork, beef, or chicken.

Dumpling filling covers a broad range of

materials. Besides lotus root, celery, leek, cabbage, mushroom, carrot, caraway,

fennel, a great variety of vegetables can be ud; in addition to pork, fish, beef,

mutton, chicken and shrimps are also ud. Meanwhile, dumpling filling of

vegetables mixed with egg is also popular.

Take what you like from the

refrigerator, and do not forget to clo it. Then chop it up and add some

chopped cabbage or green vegetables. Take a big bowl from the

cupboard and put all the meat and vegetables in it. You should also put

in some asonings such salt, soy source, pepper, same oil, and

chopped ginger to get your favorite flavor. But be careful that do not put

in too much of it, which would make the dumplings disgusting. And then

you can get a pair of chopsticks from the cabinet to stir the filling to

evenly mix.

Put the bowl aside and do the cond part. Take out the dough pieces

you bought from the supermarket. They can also be made by hand, but it

is more complicated, so I advice you to buy some from the supermarket.

Then is the step of folding the dough pieces to make dumplings. You

should hold a dough with your left or right hand and put a suitable

mount of filling onto the central part of the piece with another hand.

And wrap the piece into half-moon shaped and al the edges.

In this way you make the dumpling one by one. Then pour about one

liter water in a pot and heat it up. When the water is boiling, put the

dumplings in it. And after them float in the water, stop the heating and

get out the dumplings with a big spoon after two minutes.

In this way, you can enjoy the delicious dumplings. Be careful that you

should press the edge of the dumplings firmly, in ca the dumplings

broke when you cook them.

In Western-style cooking it is a simple staple, a source of carbohydrates

and a great comfort food. However, made in the Chine way, it is an

artistic creation from the kitchen. Chine Dumplings (Jiao Zi or Gow Gee,

in the Mandarin dialect) are a mixture made of dough filled with meat,

chicken and/or vegetables. It is frequently dished up as part of dim sum.

The correct preparation calls for plenty of time, patience and effort but

the end result, when done properly, are definitely worth it.

The history of jiaozi dates back to ancient times. But the custom of

making jiaozi a special dish during the Spring Festival, or the Chine

Lunar New Year, started in the Ming Dynasty, some 500 to 600 years ago.

The reason is simple. The appearance of jiaozi looks like the V-shape

（some say half-moon shaped）gold or silver ingot ud as money in

ancient China. As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year,

people choo to eat jiaozi to connote their wishes for good fortune in

the new year. Although time has changed, the tradition has remained.

But today, jiaozi is considered more as a sign of blessing than of fortune.
