Dumpling is a traditional Chinese food. On the lunar New Year' s Day, most families make a lot of delicious dumplings. To make them, follow this easy process.
The first step is to mix the flour with water. When the dough is ready, we can begin to make dumpling wrappers. We use a rolling pole to roll the dough into small, thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook. When the wrappers are done, it' s time to prepare the filling.
Usually, we use meat such as beef or mutton, and some vegetables such as cabbage or carrots for filling. You may actually choose whatever you like to put into it. We must chop those things into small pieces. Then put some salt, oil and other condiments into it and stir it evenly. When all these preparations are done, we can start making dumplings.
First put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper. Then stick the two opposite sides together and then the rest. Don' t just cover the filling with the wrappers. The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship, because when they are boiling in the pan, they look like ships sailing in the sea. The smell can make your mouth water.
Making Dumplings
In my hometown, there is a tradition that every family would keep—making dumplings. We usually make dumplings on the last day of the lunar calendar and eat them on the New Year’s Eve. We roll the dough into pieces and prepare the stuffing. And then we can make dumplings.
There is an important thing need to do in this period. That is we usually put coins into some dumplings. Those people who eat the dumping with a coin in it will get the best wishes for the next year. The final step is boiling the dumplings. At this time, all people are waiting for the dumplings. For us, it’s the best New Year’s Eve dinner.
今天,我一回到家,看见妈妈正在包饺子,开心得一蹦三尺高,闹着要学包饺子。
然后,我开始和妈妈包饺子了,首先,我学妈妈的样子包了起来,拿着一张薄薄的饺皮,然后,再拿勺子把那饱满的肉放进饺皮里,我正好准备把饺皮合在一起时,那调皮的饺皮滑到了地上。我捡起时,差一点就不小心就把饺皮弄烂了。真是有惊无险呀!我照着这样包,没想到,才包了几个,个个都露了馅。我想,怎么这么难包呀?我问了问妈妈,说:“我怎么一个也包不好?“妈妈很耐心地说:”没关系,慢慢学吧!“我点了点头,心想,”要耐心,慢慢学。”妈妈又说:“先把肉放进饺皮里,不要太多了,再弄点水在周围,然后把饺皮的边缘合起来就成了饺子。”“我包好了,太好了!”我欢呼道,“我终于包好了饺子。”
我明白了:只要勤学苦练,还要有耐心,什么本领都容易学会。
寒假到了,无聊透顶的我在家里呆坐着,木然地盯着窗外,脑子里一片空白,简直有想睡觉的感觉。忽然,邻居家煎饺的香味儿飘进了我那对美食特别敏感的鼻子,我何不也来做几个尝尝?我一边咽着口水一边想。主意已定,我立刻嚷着老妈教我包饺子,老妈拗不过我,只得买来材料让我搅完馅儿后教我。
我立马一股脑儿地把肉团、葱末、蛋清、酱油和味精倒在一只碗里,一只手抄起筷子,疯狂旋转着,没想到这“老顽固”还挺倔的,差点儿整块都掉在地上,害得我手忙脚乱的,却始终没一点儿效果。无奈之下,我只好虚心地请教英明的老妈了。
老妈笑着对我说到:“心急吃不了热豆腐,你必须缓下心来,慢慢地去搅拌它才行。虽然耗时,但馅儿会很均匀。”我照着老妈的话轻轻按漩涡形转动着筷子,果然,搅出来的馅儿又嫩又有光泽。
接着,老妈一手拖着饺皮,另一只手用筷子把一小块馅儿夹到饺皮的中间,在边缘抹上水,又轻轻一摆弄,一只小巧的饺子便诞生了。我边看边想:不就和捏橡皮泥一样吗?我也会!迫不及待的我拉起一块饺皮放在左手上,可馅儿好像故意和我作对,滑不溜秋的,我夹这儿,他滑到那儿;我夹那儿,他滑到这儿,可滑溜着呢。待我好不容易才夹起了它,完成了这个怪模怪样的小东西时,却发现他扁扁的,连立起来都困难,活像个荷包蛋,不用说,肯定是馅儿放少了。
我不甘心,又抄起一块饺皮,夹起一大块馅儿直接压在了饺皮上,好象那张皮子在向我提出抗议,饺皮因承受不起如此巨大的压力而宣告“牺牲”。
我强忍着耐心,甩起饺皮贴在手上,放上一块看似不大不小的馅儿,将皮的两边捏起来,可技术不熟练,底下破了一个洞,我连忙去捏,但后边又破了一个洞,急得我满头大汗,最终还是补好了,看着像只小刺猬。“如果我学不会包它,我永世变成鬼夜叉!”我暗暗发誓。
我细心地把馅儿放到皮子上,经过一番“温柔”地“撮合”后,终于,一只像样的饺子出现在我的手上。我高兴地一蹦三尺高,老妈也露出了会心的'笑容。
经过努力,一只只可爱的饺子被下了锅,变成了金黄的煎饺,吃在口里,鲜嫩滑爽,给人以无穷的回味。我心里美滋滋的,想:学会了包饺子,让我原本无聊的心情变得兴奋、愉悦,让这一天变得充实、有趣,这真是一件有意义的事呀!
包饺子
在我家乡,有一个每家每户都保持的的传统,那就是包饺子。我们通常会在除夕当天包饺子、吃饺子。我们擀面皮,准备饺子馅儿,然后就可以开始包饺子了。
在包饺子时,一定要做的一件事就是把硬币放在一些饺子里,谁能吃到馅里有硬币的饺子意味着在新的一年里好运连连。最后一步就是煮饺子,这时候,所有人都在等饺子出锅。对于我们来说,饺子就是我们最好的年夜饭。
