Chapter 387: Is this dumplings?
Maybe we can be together, maybe we can’t be together, isn’t that nonsense?
Xia Anan knew it without him saying anything.
After driving everyone out of the kitchen, Xia Anan immediately prepared the meat-filled dumpling filling.
Move out two pots of dumpling stuffing, the dough that had just been kneaded, and a large chopping board, and five people work together to make dumplings.
"Mom, Baobao doesn't know how to wrap it." Xia Baobao tried hard to climb onto the chair so that he could be at the same level as the table and see the things on it.
"Don't worry, Bao Bao, mom will teach you."
Xia Anan first rolled out a few dumpling wrappers, gave one to Xia Baobao, and then gave one to the rest of the people.
“Can you guys all make them?”
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
Xia Anan: “…”
I feel like everyone is here to eat for free, and I am the only one who knows how to make dumplings...
Xia Anan placed the dumpling wrapper in the palm of her hand, picked up a little stuffing with chopsticks, placed it in the center of the dumpling wrapper, and pinched it from one end.
Soon, a dumpling was ready.
"Have you learned it?"
The three of them continued to shake their heads in tacit agreement.
Xia Anan had to demonstrate it again, and this time she successfully taught two students.
Only Fu Sijia was left, hesitating whether to say that she still couldn't do it.
It's only been two times. Zhao Yunjiao is so smart that she must be able to learn it. What about Lu Qingyuan?
It must be because he usually helps An An cook, so he can learn so quickly.
Thinking of this, Fu Sijia felt relieved.
Zhao Yunjiao said, "An An, you wrap it first, I will teach him."
If Xia Anan continues teaching, there won’t be enough dumpling skins.
"Baobao doesn't know either." Xia Baobao said.
Zhao Yunjiao: "Then you two should learn from me together."
Xia Anan checked the dumplings made by Lu Qingyuan. Although they looked ugly, at least the filling was not exposed.
As long as the filling can be wrapped in it, the dumplings are good.
But the other party lost his patience after only packing a few.
"Please teach me how to roll out the dumpling wrappers."
Xia Anan: "Okay."
With the efforts of five people, after more than half an hour, they finally finished wrapping all the dumplings.
Xia Anan used to think that the dumplings she made were not very good looking. But compared with the other three people today, her dumplings were quite good.
The vegetarian filling and the meat filling are kept separately because they take different times to cook.
Vegetarian fillings cook faster because the ingredients inside are already cooked, while meat fillings need to be cooked for a few minutes longer.
Xia Anan took out the two big pots at home and prepared to cook them together.
Fu Sijia and Xia Baobao were peeling garlic in the living room and preparing the sauce.
Lu Qingyuan imitated Xia Anan and turned the dumplings in the pot from time to time to prevent them from sticking to the pot and preventing the water from overflowing.
Zhao Yunjiao cleaned the container and put the dumplings in it directly.
There were two large plates of vegetarian fillings and three plates of meat fillings.
Because Xia Anan has already prepared the vegetarian filling.
The meat filling was seasoned only after Fu Sijia and Zhao Yunjiao arrived.
The original amount of shepherd's purse was enough, but with two more people, more meat had to be added, otherwise it wouldn't be enough.
Some green onions were added, and there was almost no trace of shepherd's purse. It almost became a pork and green onion filling.
However, when Xia Anan tasted it, she could still vaguely taste the fragrance of shepherd's purse.
"Everyone, eat first. If it's not enough later, we can still cook noodles. There are also pancakes in the refrigerator."
Xia Anan first put the dumplings into Xia Baobao's small plate, five with vegetarian fillings and five with meat fillings.
She chose to have a vegetarian one first.
When she was making dumplings just now, she couldn't help but want to taste the shepherd's purse.
She had never eaten this kind of wild vegetable in half a year since she came to this world, not to mention that when she was working before, she didn’t even have a kitchen, let alone make dumplings by herself.
The wild vegetables bought in the supermarket are more expensive than meat. With that money, she would rather have a barbecue.
When you open the dumpling skin, you will find golden eggs and emerald green shepherd's purse inside, and your mouth will be filled with the fragrance of the vegetables.
The taste is different from that of leeks or celery. Perhaps because we eat less of it, we feel it is so precious.
But with the fried eggs, it doesn’t feel bland.
After finishing this one, I can’t wait to pick up the second one with my chopsticks.
This kind of vegetarian dumplings is meant to have a light flavor, and you don’t need to dip them in any sauce to enjoy their natural flavor.
Then try coating it with mashed garlic and sauce, it’s a different experience.
Next comes the meat filling.
Compared with the vegetarian filling just now, the meat filling contains less shepherd's purse, so the taste is not as strong as it appears.
Xia Anan added a little more fat when preparing the filling. When preparing the filling, shepherd's purse will absorb the oil in the fat.
The dumplings finally made don’t feel particularly fragrant, but just right.
If you put too little lean meat, the dumplings will lose some flavor.
But the meat filling is obviously not as delicious as the vegetarian filling. After eating two, Xia Anan wanted to dip it in the sauce.
I prefer the vegetarian shepherd's purse dumplings.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xia Anan asked.
But it was obvious that there was no need for her to ask this question, as Fu Sijia had already eaten most of the large plate in front of him.
"An An, what is this dish made of?" Zhao Yunjiao asked.
Xia Anan explained: "It's a wild vegetable called shepherd's purse. It can be used to make dumplings or vegetable meatballs. Didn't I go to the mountain city this time? They gave it to me when I came back."
Zhao Yunjiao nodded: "No wonder, why haven't I eaten this kind of thing before?"
“It’s delicious. It tastes different from other vegetables, but it’s very fragrant.”
Xia Anan nodded: "If you like it, eat more. Usually there may be this kind of wild vegetables in the supermarket, but the quantity is not large. If you can buy it next time, I will call you and you can come over again."
"Okay, thank you."
"Don't thank me, just eat quickly. If you're any slower, the three of them will eat up all the rest."
The two looked at each other and then laughed.
Although it was not a sumptuous meal, only dumplings, the atmosphere was more comfortable than a banquet.
When Fu Sijia heard the two of them laughing, she realized that what she had just done was a bit ungentlemanly.
"Ahem, Miss Zhao, do you want to try this meat filling?"
Zhao Yunjiao smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
