Dumplings: 1 carrot, 400g beef, 500g flour, appropriate amount of salt, 10g light soy sauce, 5g ginger, 1 green onion, a variety of peppercorns, black pepper.
Step 1: Main ingredients: carrot, beef, flour; auxiliary ingredients: roasted peanut oil, salt, light soy sauce, ginger, green onion, chicken broth powder, peppercorns, black pepper. (Whether it’s beef or pork, as long as you add meat, this dumpling is not bad).
Step 2: Add flour and water to make a dough, put it in a sealed bag for 30 minutes, soak peppercorns in water for 30 minutes, remove the peppercorns, wash green onions and ginger, cut them into minced pieces.
Step 3: Cut the beef into small pieces. Then use a cooking cup to make meat puree, add green onion, ginger, light soy sauce, black pepper and mix evenly.
Step 4: Add peppercorn water gradually, mix evenly in one direction, so that the meat filling becomes stronger. Peel and chop the carrot, add it to the cooking cup and smash it.
Step 5: Add the beef filling, add salt and mix evenly, add roasted peanut oil and mix evenly, marinate for about 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a long strip, divide it into small pieces.
Step 6: Then use your hands to flatten the small pieces, take one (cover the rest with a damp cloth or plastic film to prevent drying), and press them into dumpling wrappers.
Step 7: Then pinch the dumpling wrappers into dumplings. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a little salt, and put the dumplings in. As you put the dumplings in, gently push with a skimmer to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Step 8: Cover the pot, wait for the water to boil, add half a bowl of cold water. When the water boils again, add another half bowl of cold water. Add three times in total, and wait until the dumplings float to the surface.
