Dumplings are a popular food around the world. In China, they hold a special place in people's hearts, especially during festivals like Chinese New Year.
Making dumplings is a fun activity that often involves the whole family. First, prepare the dough. Mix flour with water until it forms a smooth ball. Let it rest for a while. Then, it's time to make the filling(馅料). Popular fillings include minced(切碎的) meat with cabbage, beef with onions, or just vegetables like mushrooms and carrots. The key is to season the filling well with spices like salt, pepper, and soy sauce.
When the dough and filling are ready, roll the dough into small, thin circles. Put a spoonful of filling in the centre of each circle and fold the dough over to form a half - moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the dumplings.
Cooking dumplings can be done in different ways. The most common methods are boiling and steaming. Boiled dumplings are often served with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, vinegar, and a bit of chili oil. Steamed dumplings, on the other hand, retain(保持) more of their original flavour.
Dumplings are not only delicious but also a symbol of family togetherness and good luck in Chinese culture. Every time people make and eat dumplings, they create wonderful memories.
