【Fresh Meat and Shrimp Skin Wontons】

Overview

What I like most about wontons is the smooth niuniu skin and QQ filling. A few days ago, a friend asked me: Why is it that the fillings of the wontons I make are always lumpy and not elastic at all? . And it’s not as fresh as outside? After asking, I found out that there was something wrong with the type of meat she chose and the method of mincing it. The most common filling for wontons is pork filling. When making pork stuffing, choose fat and lean pork belly. The wonton filling made from pure lean meat has a powdery texture and is not oily enough. After choosing the ingredients for the wonton filling, the next step is to chop the filling. When many people chop wonton fillings, they chop the fat and lean meat together. In fact, this method is wrong. The correct method is to separate the fat and lean meat as much as possible (of course a small part is mixed together, it doesn't matter much), cut into dices respectively, then chop the lean meat into minced meat, and finally mix the diced fat meat and stir and season. The meat filling processed in this way has a rich and elastic texture, and is oily but not greasy. In addition, because there is less filling in wontons, we cannot add many vegetables as ingredients like dumpling fillings to enrich the texture and taste. Therefore, when making wonton fillings, we can add some dried shrimps, fungus and other dry goods to the fillings, which can also enhance the freshness and flavor. The wontons made this time are stuffed with fresh meat and shrimp skin. I hope you all like it~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the meat, onion and ginger. Wash the meat, drain the water, separate the fat and thin, and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes;

   

2. 2 Take out the frozen hard meat and slice the fat and lean meat into slices first;

   

3. 3 Then cut it into strips;

   

4. 4 Finally cut into cubes. In the step-by-step diagram, I demonstrate using lean meat;

   

5. 5 Add minced ginger to the lean meat and chop into puree;

7. 7 Mix fat and lean meat in a large bowl;

   

8. 8 Add the cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, sugar, and salt in seasoning A, and beat in one direction until evenly mixed (the process of adding seasonings will not be pictured, otherwise it will not be too long~~);

   

9. 9 Wash 1 shrimp skin, drain the water, chop into small pieces, and add to the meat filling;

   

10. 10 Add water in batches and beat vigorously in one direction. Each time, the water added last time must be completely absorbed by the meat filling before adding the next time;

    

11. 11 The wonton stuffing looks like it has been soaked in water;

    

12. 12 Add appropriate amount of homemade shrimp oil and mix well;

    

13. 13 Add chopped green onion and mix well (I also chopped some corn kernels);

15. 15 Take a piece of wonton wrapper and put an appropriate amount of wonton filling;

    

16. 16 Knead it into a ball with your hands and place it in a container. Repeat this action and pack the amount you want to eat;

    

17. 17 Boil a pot of water and heat it over high heat. After the water boils, add a little salt;

    

18. 18 Add the wontons and gently stir them with a spoon along the edge of the pot to prevent the wontons from sticking to the bottom; 26.

    

19. 19 After boiling over high heat, add appropriate amount of cold water;

    

20. 20 Boil again, if the wontons become transparent and float on the water, they are cooked;

    

21. 21 While the wontons are cooking, put the shredded seaweed, concentrated chicken juice, 2 shrimp skins and chopped green onions in a bowl;

    

22. 22 Pour in boiling water;

    

23. 23 Pour in the cooked wontons, add a few drops of sesame oil, and enjoy!
