Dumplings stuffed with watermelon rind

Overview

In summer, it is very happy to take a bite of sweet watermelon. However, since watermelon rind is more nutritious than watermelon pulp, it is estimated that not many people will eat the entire watermelon. Every time my frugal mother-in-law eats watermelon, she is always reluctant to throw away the skin. She has to process the skin and eat it pickled or fried. But I eat watermelon every day, and the watermelon rinds are really stuffed in the refrigerator and can’t be stored for long, so I came up with a one-time method to make dumplings!

Ingredients

Steps

  1. If you want to make delicious watermelon skin dumplings, you must choose fresh watermelon. The skin will be crisper, otherwise it will become wilted, difficult to peel, and the taste will not be good.

  2. Scoop out the red flesh of the watermelon and try to get as white as possible. Then remove the green skin on the outside of the watermelon rind (just like removing the rind of winter melon).

  3. Grate the processed watermelon rind, cut it slightly, sprinkle with a little salt and kill the water. Drain the water and mix with vegetable oil.

  4. Fresh watermelon rinds will produce more watermelon juice and have a very fresh watermelon aroma, so it would be a pity to throw it away. So part of it was used to make the noodles, and part of it was reserved and added to the water for cooking the dumplings.

  7. Chop the shrimp, pork, onion, ginger, garlic, vegetable oil, salt, soy sauce, and cooking wine into a puree. (At this time, try to add enough salt to complete the filling. If you mix it with the watermelon rind and add salt, the watermelon rind will release water and the filling will become thinner. It will not only be difficult to wrap, but also salty and light.)
