As the saying goes: the dumplings turn three times, the gods can’t stand firmly! Drinking dumpling soup is better than prescription! What does it mean to be a three-roll? As the name suggests, it means that when cooking meat-filled dumplings, whenever the water in the pot starts to boil, the dumplings will roll with the boiling water. At this time, light a little water, which can make the noodles calm again. In this way, the dumplings will be cooked.
However, some friends said: I ordered water for cooking dumplings because the firepower of the firewood pot used in the past cannot be controlled, so I must use water to cool the pot to prevent the dumplings from being broken. Nowadays, it is natural gas stove . The amount of firepower can be controlled at any time. When boiling the pot, just change it to a low heat!
So, the question is, when cooking dumplings, should I order water and cook them? Or is it better to boil it without ordering water? In fact, many friends make it wrong. No wonder dumplings are prone to getting old and broken skin once they are cooked! Regarding this issue, Lao Yu has consulted a pastry chef for more than 30 years. Let me tell you whether to order water or not to boil dumplings!
Is it better to cook dumplings or not to add water?
First, let me talk about the answer my master told me: it is best to cook dumplings, and it is best to cook them in water! First of all, you can eat dumplings that are cooked without ordering water, but judging from the taste of the dumplings and the state after being released, dumplings that are ordered with water are much better than dumplings that are not ordered with water!
Why do order boiled dumplings taste better? pastry chef told me: The reason why I ordered boiled dumplings tasted more chewy, would not be clumpy, and would not stick easily is because the dumpling skin is a viscoelastic ingredient after being heated and cooked. What we often call "muscle" actually depends on the parameters of the viscoelasticity of the dumpling skin, which is both sticky and elastic!
And the taste of this chewy is mainly affected by the heating time and the final temperature. If you do not order water to boil dumplings, the dumplings will be in the water temperature with little fluctuation for a long time, so they will continue to heat up, so their viscoelasticity will be poor, and they will easily break the skin, or they will easily stick together after being served on the pan.
On the contrary, the reason why the dumplings with water are chewy and refreshing is that during the heating process, the dumpling skin is stopped from heating in a very short time. Although the time is short, it will prevent the dumpling skin from continuing to stick. In this way, the stickiness of the dumpling skin will be small and elastic, and it will naturally taste delicious after cooking!
Master also said: The ancestors would have explored the dumplings step by step after thousands of years. They may not be able to explain the reason, but the method is correct. According to the current explanation, it is just the changes in the ingredients during the heating process! Therefore, it is the best way to cook dumplings and some water. Next, Lao Yu will share another way to make a dish of vegetarian dumplings!
[Leek vermicelli, egg stuffing dumplings] The filling is delicious, the most suitable dumplings for dinner
Ingredients: leek, vermicelli, eggs, oyster sauce, salt, peanut oil, flour
1. Take an appropriate amount of flour, sprinkle a spoonful of salt, add water, stir into large pieces of flocculent, then knead into smooth dough, cover with plastic wrap and wake up for 30 minutes.
2. When waking up the noodles, rinse the vermicelli, put it in a basin and add water, soak until it becomes soft, then cut it into small pieces with scissors, and finally chop it with a knife to set aside.
3. Remove the rotten leaves of the leeks, wash them and cut them into pieces. Bring the eggs into a bowl and stir into egg liquid. Heat the pan and heat the oil and add the egg liquid. Fry until it has just condensed into pieces. Turn off the heat and let it cool down and set aside.
4. Add all the ingredients together, add a little peanut oil, oyster sauce and salt and stir well. In this way, the filling of the dumplings is prepared! Then after the dough wakes up, divide it into small dosages of the same size, then roll it into dumpling skins, and wrap it into dumplings!
5. Add water to the pot, dig a spoonful of salt, boil over high heat, and add dumplings.Note that because it is made of vegetarian stuffing, every time it is time to boil the pot, and the dumplings will be cooked!
——Old Yu said——
The old saying goes: Roll three meat dumplings, and order two vegetarian dumplings! The dumplings cooked in this way make the noodles feel refreshing. Lao Yu believes that some old traditions or inheritances are not all outdated, and just like cooking dumplings, it is also very practical! Ask your friends, do you order water when cooking dumplings?
