Chapter 166: Happy Dumplings

Peng Jianyang mixed celery and pork together, stirred well, added light soy sauce, cooking wine, and added a small amount of water. Then he kept stirring in one direction until he saw that the filling was very wet and sticky, and then added the appropriate amount of salt, monosodium glutamate, oyster sauce, green onion puree, ginger puree, garlic puree, and pepper. Continue to stir for five or six minutes before the pork filling is ready.

He then began to mix the mackerel stuffing in a similar way: first mix the fish meat with the small bowl of pork poured into it, add the leek puree, stir well, add light soy sauce and cooking wine, add a small amount of water, keep stirring in one direction until the filling is wet and sticky, then add an appropriate amount of salt, monosodium glutamate, oyster sauce, green onion puree, ginger puree, garlic paste, pepper, continue to stir for five or six minutes, mix the fish filling, and excitedly shout: "It's done, the pork filling and the fish filling are mixed, and you can make dumplings immediately." ”

Peng Jianyang washed his hands, took out a piece of kitchen paper to dry, went over to pull the dough, and said to Mrs. Ning and Ning Hua: "The noodles have woken up, they are very soft, I can roll the noodles now, right?" ”

"Aren't you tired yet?" Mrs. Ning asked with a smile, "Birch can also roll noodles, why don't you let Birch roll out noodles?" ”

Peng Jianyang walked a few steps in the kitchen, moved his upper limbs, and returned to the bar: "No, I'm not tired." If I'm tired, I'll definitely strike, and it's not too late to change my sister at that time. Master, where do you roll out the dough? Is it okay to be right at the bar? ”

"It's okay at the bar, there's a stool at home, you can sit on it and roll out the dough. I'm so blessed that I don't have to do anything, I can eat the fragrant dumplings you wrapped at home. Mrs. Ning's voice fell, and Ning Hua had already helped three stacked high stools from the balcony of the living room, opened them, and placed them on the three sides of the bar.

Peng Jianyang thanked his junior sister and sat on the high stool. He spreads flour on the bar and cuts the noodles into three pieces of about the same size. After flattening each piece of dough by hand, a round hole is cut out from the middle, and then put it into the hole with your hands, and the dough is held in turns with both hands, and the dough is kept being crumpled finely and evenly. Then use a knife to cut into small pieces of wedges, and turn the wedges on the countertop, and the small dough is coated with a thin layer of flour, so that they will not stick together. Peng Jianyang used a rolling pin to roll out the small dough into a round, thin dumpling wrapper, and also sprinkled a thin layer of flour and placed it in a stack. When Mrs. Ning and Ning Hua saw that the dumpling wrappers had been rolled out, they also sat on the high stool and began to wrap the dumplings. Then they boiled water to make dumplings filled with fish and meat.

Ning Hua uses chopsticks to sandwich an appropriate amount of fish and meat filling on the dumpling skin, holds the lower end of the dumpling skin with his left hand and folds it together, pinches the middle of the upper edge of the dumpling skin with his thumb and index finger, and holds up both ends of the dumpling skin with both hands at the same time, and presses the two ends of the dumpling skin to the middle, and presses the folds that are pinched out to make it completely sealed, so that it will not break when cooking, so that the dumplings with thin skin and many fillings are wrapped, and Ning Hua places the first dumpling in the center of the round dumpling grate.

The three of them were rolling, wrapping, talking and laughing, and soon the dumplings were filled with a grate curtain, which was neatly arranged in a radiating shape from the center outward, like a big white lotus blooming. Ning Hua covered the dumplings with a piece of wet gauze to prevent the dumplings from drying out, and took a grate curtain to place the newly wrapped dumplings.

After Peng Jianyang finished rolling about half of the dumpling skin, Ning Hua saw that his rolling speed slowed down, and knew that he couldn't roll it, so he snatched the rolling pin from his hand and began to roll the skin.

"Thank you, junior sister! Then you roll it out for a while, I'll rest for a while, and then I'll do it for you. ”

Ning Hua smiled and didn't speak, his left hand rotated the dough, his right hand was light and forceful, the dough turned twice, and a thin and round dumpling skin was rolled out.

Peng Jianyang observed with interest: "Ah, I didn't see it, my sister's dexterity in rolling is really a good craft." The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, disrespectful and disrespectful! It seems that the younger sister has completely learned the master's craft. ”

Peng Jianyang made a gesture and saluted with his fists, not beware of the flour and dregs on his hands and arms falling into the steel basin containing the filling. He put down his hands and patted the slag in his hand to the corner of the bar. Mrs. Ning smiled kindly and used chopsticks to pinch out the dregs.

"Then you're wrong. It's too early to learn my mother's craft! My mom rolls thinner, and she makes dumplings of all shapes. Mom, when you make pork stuffed dumplings later, you can teach me to make butterfly-shaped dumplings, and I can just distinguish between two kinds of dumplings. ”

"Okay, we'll make butterfly-shaped dumplings in a while, but the speed of the wrapping is a little slower."

"Anyway, it's nothing to do at night, take your time. Eat later, just after eating to watch the New Year's Day party. ”

"Your brother is so far away, it's too late, the road outside is not easy to walk, the bus will stop running at 7 o'clock in the evening on this cold day, and the drivers will also have to spend the holiday at home on New Year's Day, and it is not easy to take a taxi."

"I'm fine, I can get a taxi as late as I want." Peng Jianyang hurriedly said.

"It's really not good, senior brother can drive your car back, and drive the car back another day. You don't need a car anyway. ”

"That's a good idea. Jianyang, you will drive my car home tonight. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Let's see when the time comes, I really can't get a taxi, I'll drive your car again. ”

As they spoke, Mrs. Ning and Peng Jianyang had finished wrapping the dumplings stuffed with mackerel, and they were about to start wrapping the pork stuffing. Peng Jianyang rested for a while, and felt that the strength in his arm had returned. He snatched the rolling pin from Ning Hua's hand and began to roll the skin: "Senior sister, I've rested enough." I'll roll the skin, you can learn to make butterfly-shaped dumplings with your wife! ”

Ning Hua rubbed off the flour sticking to her hand, took a dumpling wrapper, stared at her mother's action with both eyes, and watched her mother finish wrapping the two butterfly dumplings before she started. She first folded the sides of about one-third of the round dough symmetrically, leaving about one-third of the middle part unfolded, showing a thin and sharp fan-shaped, and then she turned the whole dough over, put the pork filling in the middle part, folded the triangular head to wrap the filling, kneaded the two sides respectively, pinched the thin edge of the dough without turning it up, nested into the eyes of a butterfly, and finally pinched out the pattern of the wings next to it, turned the two wings over, and wrapped it into the first butterfly dumpling.

Ning Hua took the butterfly dumpling he wrapped and looked at it carefully: "When you eat dumplings later, if you see such ugly dumplings, I made them, don't eat them, I'll eat them myself." ”

Peng Jianyang looked at Ning Huabao's dumplings, looked at Mrs. Ning's dumplings, and said, "Although the butterfly dumplings made by my sister are not as good as those made by my sister, they are already very good." The junior sister will be able to leave the teacher if she packs a few more. ”

"Thank you, senior brother, for the compliment, I will continue to work hard!" Ning Hua was happy to work and replied mischievously.
