Egg dumplings

Overview

Egg dumplings are an indispensable representative food during the festival~ The taste buds of Shanghai girls in the 1970s remember the egg dumplings~ The aroma of meat and eggs is mixed~ That is the taste of the New Year~ This is a must-have dish for Shanghainese people on New Year's Eve~ Maybe it is because Zhang Ailing's "Half Life" compared it to an ingot~ In my memory, I put a piece of lard in the egg dumpling spoon and made a sizzling noise on the coal stove. The children sat on the small bench on the side. Whichever one is good and obedient can get one or two egg skins. My younger brothers and sisters always get it before me. However, even the most naughty me can still get one or two egg skins sprinkled with a few grains of salt in the end. I even shamelessly asked for the egg skins to be spread thicker~ A small piece of egg skin may have been the most delicious thing in the world at that time~ In today's fast pace, how many people would make a bowl of egg dumplings that carry beautiful childhood memories~ Nowadays, ready-made egg dumplings can be bought everywhere in supermarkets and markets~ But if you don't make them by yourself, you always feel that there is something missing~ So~ I took the time to DIY~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Break the eggs first~

   

2. 2 Add a little salt, MSG and cooking wine to taste to remove the fishy smell

   

3. 3 Remember to pour some more oil ~ mix thoroughly

   

4. 4 Wash the meat and drain the water~

   

5. 5 Peel ~ cut off a little fat and set aside ~

   

6. 6 Cut the rest into pieces first and then chop them into pieces~

   

7. 7 Meat chopped by hand is more fragrant than meat from a meat grinder~so I usually chop the stuffing myself~

   

8. 8 The meat should be fat and lean. If it is too thin, there will be no juice. If it is too fat, it will be greasy. After mincing the stuffing, add cooking wine, chopped green onion, salt and MSG to taste. It is best to add another egg and mix well.

   

9. 9 Remember to stir in one direction ~ wake up

   

10. 10 Wipe the egg dumpling spoon with fat

    

11. 11 Put the egg dumpling spoon on the gas ~ turn on low heat ~ roll the cut fat meat back and forth in the egg dumpling spoon ~ wait until the oil and water come out of the egg dumpling spoon ~ the spoon will shine ~ you can start making egg dumplings ~

    

12. 12 Pour a spoonful of egg liquid into the egg dumpling spoon ~ turn the egg dumpling spoon evenly

    

13. 13 ~Wait until the egg liquid solidifies into egg skin, then add the meat filling~ Then gently twist one side of the egg skin to wrap the meat filling~

    

14. 14 Close it to the other side~use chopsticks to press the surrounding area to form~then wipe the egg dumpling spoon with fat again~
