mama's cooking







馅儿饼

Hi! Did I tell you I was in Beijing? Well I was, and I got to have my mom's home-cooking! Here, she made a Chinese dumpling-ish thing. Hmmm...

To make the dough, you need some flour and water. There's no measuring tools in Chinese cooking so you just need to feel it out; add a little bit of water at a time to see if it's enough. The dough should be mixed to a point when it doesn't stick to your hand, and there's no flour pieces flaking out. The stuffing here, we used ground pork and string beans; an egg, soy sauce and sesame oil was added in there too. When the stuffing is ready, roll out the dough, put the stuffing in it and secure the edges. To cook it, you need a flat pan. Remember to flip the dumpling after a few minutes till both sides are golden.

When it's done, it's crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside!!
