Every winter solstice, without exception, every household eats dumplings. This year's epidemic situation is special, and children are taking online classes at home. In order to allow young people to better understand the connotation of traditional Chinese festivals, promote folk culture, truly feel the joy of labor, and let traditional culture be passed on to children, the school specially allocates time and no longer carries out any tasks to improve talents and make up for deficiencies, leaving sufficient time for students to participate in the family work of making dumplings during the Winter Solstice.
The origin of dumplings. Dumplings were called "Jiao Er" in ancient times. According to legend, "Medical Sage" Zhang Zhongjing cooked "Jiao Er Soup" to help people who were hungry and cold and had frozen ears. In order to commemorate him, later generations would eat dumplings every winter solstice and New Year's Day.
The meaning of eating dumplings during the Winter Solstice : Because dumplings are shaped like ingots, and ingots are meant to make a fortune, eating dumplings is to hope for a prosperous life, abundant wealth, and good luck in the future!
When making dumplings, you need to "mix" the dough, which also means harmony and beauty. The dough is rolled out into a round shape, and the rolled out dumpling skin also symbolizes reunion.
The fillings of the dumplings eaten during the Winter Solstice also have various meanings. For example, the leek filling symbolizes long-term wealth (Jiucai). Cabbage is Baicai, etc.
The dumplings I make are delicious. I make them at home every time I want to eat them. I start preparing the ingredients early in the morning. The leek and meat stuffing is my family’s favorite! Let’s talk about how I did it!
To make delicious dumplings, the first step is to knead the noodles. The ratio of noodles to water is generally 2:1.2, which is better. The dumpling noodles should not be too soft or too hard. In winter, warm water is usually used to knead the noodles. The "three lights" of dough, basin light, and hand light are required. After the dough has been kneaded, it will be easier to operate after waking up!

Next, mix the stuffing. For big meat, usually choose front leg meat or pork belly as the stuffing. Alternate fat and lean. Put salt in the meat stuffing (first put half of the salt used in the total stuffing, thirteen spices, light soy sauce, minced ginger, pepper, sesame oil, stir well, marinate for a while, then add the chopped leeks (the leeks should be carefully controlled to dry the water, the freshly washed vegetables are too watery, so put them in directly and cause There is too much water and it is difficult to wrap). Another thing that makes our stuffing delicious is to add less celery, chop the celery, and squeeze out the water with a rag. The dumplings made in this way will have the fragrance of celery without overpowering the leeks. It is best to add the remaining half of the salt and stir well, and the filling is complete!
When making dumplings, you can feel free to make them. You can decide on the size or shape you like, but the skin should be even and not too thin to easily break. Too thick will affect the taste!
Finally, when cooking the dumplings, you can put a few drops of oil in the water to prevent the skin from breaking. Frozen dumplings can be washed out in cold water and then cooked. When the dumplings are just put into the pot, stir them from one side of the pot to the other. Be sure not to let the dumplings sink to the bottom of the pot, as they are easy to stick to the pot and break! After the pot is boiled and the dumplings float to the surface, add cold water twice. The dumplings are basically cooked. You need to control the cooking time. When the dumplings are steaming, the delicious dumplings are ready to be cooked!
The dumplings made by the children are also good

The winter solstice is one of the 24 solar terms in China. Regional cultural differences lead to the custom of eating dumplings during the winter solstice and noodles during the summer solstice. On this day, families go out together and sit together to make dumplings and chat about family affairs, which gives the dumplings a symbol of reunion. China's traditional culture is extensive and profound. When the whole family is reunited, the family is harmonious, the country is harmonious, and the world is harmonious! Wish my great ancestor prosperity!
