I
have been in Taiwan for almost a year. I
have eaten a lot of delicious food here.
Today, I tried to make Jiaozi (a kind of Chinese dumplings). I bought the pre-made wrappers, then I
prepared the fillings and finally I cooked on my own.
The
following is the way we made Jiaozi.
First, add some seasonings like allspice powder, white sesame oil, soy
sauce, rice wine, salt, ground ginger, and finely-chopped green onion to the ground
pork in a pot. Then, mix the cabbages (the
cabbages have already been squeezed out of extra water with salt. Sometimes, corns and leeks can be used in the
place of the cabbages) and minced meat together by hand until they are
thoroughly mixed.
After
the fillings are done, we start to wrap dumplings. I pick up a ready-made wrapper. Then, I use a spoon to scoop out a spoonful
of the fillings and put it in the center of the wrapper. I spread a little water on the edge of the
wrapper. I fold the wrapper in half and
pinch the two edges together, forming a half-circle. A Chinese crescent-shaped dumpling has been
done.
I
can choose either to boil or to steam
Jiaozi. These delicious dumplings are
fast eaten up by me. Indeed, food made
by myself is the most delicious.
