Dumplings full of spring in winter - Jade Lotus Root Fresh Meat Dumplings

Overview

Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the first snow in Xi'an in 2012 finally fell, and it was so beautiful. Taking the baby out to play in the snow makes the little one very happy. It feels like it should be, with severe cold and snowflakes, this winter is perfect! Yesterday was the winter solstice again. I remember that during the winter solstice last year, I specially made a sweet dumpling for my baby. She loved it very much. And I also won the creative food prize - Supor's second generation genuine stainless steel healthy iron pot - for that dumpling. Not to mention how happy I was at that time. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. I can’t say enough about the harvest and growth I have gained in the food world. In short, what I want to say the most is, thank you for the food and the food world, they have made my life full of changes, surprises and growth! I have always dreamed of opening a small gourmet house of my own with my husband, specializing in home-cooked meals, so that people who are wandering away can feel the warmth of home through our hands. That little dream about food, I believe that with continuous efforts, when the time is right, it will definitely come true! With love, dreams, hard work, and gains, this kind of life is really beautiful... The dumpling served today is particularly full of spring. It makes us believe: Winter has come, can spring be far behind?
