饺子与烧卖 ♦ Jiaozi (Chinese version of Dumpling) and Shaomai

饺子烧卖Jiaozi (Chinese version of Dumpling) and Shaomai


准备篇 Preparation part:

1)酱料 Sauce:
酱料的材料: Ingredients for Sauce:
洋葱 onion
蒜米 garlic
老干妈辣酱 "LaoGanMa" brand of spicy sauce
番茄酱 Tomato sauce/ Ketchup
sugar
酱油 soy sauce
虾酱(可选) Shrimp paste/belacan (optional)


用蒜米洋葱爆香(香),加上老干妈辣酱(辣),番茄酱(酸),糖(甜),酱油(咸)。。。还有什么想加的就加进去,像虾酱就有鲜味。
(注意:这个是无辣不欢的马来西亚人,我们突发奇想这样配来吃的,正统的不是这样的哦!你可以自己调适合你自己口味的酱料!~)
fry the garlic and onion (smell), add the spicy sauce (spicy), tomato sauce (sauer), sugar (sweet), soy sauce (salty)...and you can add any other thing you like, like Shrimp paste will make it more delicious.
(ps. this sauce is not the original one, it's created by us just because we like to eat spicy stuff, you can do it to fit your own taste!~)


2) Soup:
汤的材料: Ingredients for Soup:
鸡精块或鸡骨头 Chicken cube or Chicken bones


用鸡精快煮汤很简单,但是看起来好像不是很专业。我们用的是鸡骨中小火煲个两三小时的汤。
use chicken cube so boil the soup is very simple, but sounds not so professional. We choose to use chicken bone and boil it with middle low fire for 2 to 3 hours.


3)馅料 Filling:
馅料的材料: Ingredients for Filling:
猪肉碎 Minced Pork
五花肉 Pork belly
虾肉 Shrimp meat
大白菜 Chinese cabbage
红萝卜粒 red carrot cubes
冬菇粒(可选) mushroom cubes (optional)
马蹄粒(可选) Eleocharis dulcis cubes (optional)
糖盐 sugar and salt
胡椒粉 pepper powder
绍兴花雕酒 rice wine
酱油 soy sauce
鸡蛋 egg
薯粉 corn flour


左下角是机器打出来的猪肉碎,没有肉感,也没有肉味。。。
右下角是手打五花肉碎,比较没有打到这么碎,也比较有肉感和肉汁,还有一点点脂肪。。。
上面那个是虾肉碎。。。
另外还有大白菜切碎,加盐把水挤出来。。。
又或者红萝卜粒,冬菇粒,马蹄粒等等。。。

lower left is machine's minced pork, you can't bite anything from that...
lower right is minced pork belly using knife but not mechine, like this at least you can buy something, more juice and a bit fat on it...
the upper one is minced shrimp meat...
other than that, cut the chinese cabage, add salt and squizz out the water...
or you can also add red carrot, mushroom, or Eleocharis dulcis if you want...

调味料要加糖加盐,胡椒粉,绍兴花雕酒,酱油,鸡蛋,薯粉。。。
add sugar and salt, pepper powder, rice wine, soy sauce, egg, corn flour...
水饺的馅:基本一定要有机器猪肉碎,手打五花肉碎,大白菜碎。。。比较好吃可以加马蹄粒。。。
for Jiaozi: basically you must have mechine minced pork, hand minced pork belly, chinese cabbage...if you add Eleocharis dulcis will be better...
烧卖的馅:基本一定要有机器猪肉碎,手打五花肉碎,虾肉碎,红萝卜。。。比较好吃可以加冬菇粒。。。
for Shaomai: basically you must have mechine minced pork, hand minced pork belly, minced shrimp meat, red carrot... adding mushroom will add points...


饺子篇 Jiaozi part:

面粉自己搓,搓成圆圆一粒,弄扁,再把旁边搓平,中间留厚。。。讲就容易啦!要自己搓搓看才知道有多难啊!~~
mix flour with water, and keep on massage it. make them to a ball shape and make it flat, roll the side flatter but leave the middle to be thick...it's easy to say but you will find it very hard when you do it on your own!~~

包馅料。。。又怎么包?提供两种包法:
how to put the Filling in it? we teach you 2 ways of doing it:
普通饺子 Normal Jiaozi:http://limjn86.multiply.com/video/item/28
比较华丽但是很慢。。。looks nicer but very slow
东北饺子 North east Jiaozi:http://limjn86.multiply.com/video/item/27
比较快,又简单。。。very fast and simple...

第一个方法(美食家的煮法):用汤把它烫熟。。。这样饺子就会吸收汤的精华,吃起来味道也不同。。。但是之后那个汤就不能喝了,因为满是面粉。。。有点浪费那个汤似的。。。
The first way (Gourmet way): put them in to the boiling soup to cook...in this way, the Jiaozi will absorb the taste of the soup, will taste different...but then the soup cannot be drunk anymore, because it will be full of flour...this sounds a bit wasting the soup...
第二个方法(平民家的吃法):用开水烫熟。。。汤熟后放在汤里。。。既可以吃水饺又可以喝汤。。。但是饺子的皮因为是吸开水煮熟的,吃起来有点淡淡的。。。
The second way (Civilians way): use water to boil them...and then put into the soup...like this you can eat the Jiaozi as well as drinking the soup...but because the Jiaozi skin absorb plain water instead of soup, so the taste is not as good as the previous one...

烫熟了拿出来。。。看起来没有这么好看,沾酱吃起来却很美味哦!
they are cooked!~~ looks not very nice but it taste great with the sauce!~~


烧卖篇 Shaomai part:

烧卖就用现买的云吞皮,包了馅料放在抹了油的碟子,然后拿去蒸。。。那要怎么包烧卖?
we use the Wonton skin (just buy direcktly from the asia market) for Shaomai, put the filling inside and put on the plate with oil on top, then steam it...so how to put the filling?
看这里 see here:http://limjn86.multiply.com/video/item/29

可以用电饭锅蒸,但是之后我们显它火力不够太慢了。。。换去电炉来蒸。。。
you can use rice cooker to steam, but after that we found out it's not strong and very slow...then we change to use electric stove...

蒸好的样子!~~
The done look!~~

配酱料吃。。。赞!!~~
eat it together with the sauce....yummy!!~~

虽然看起来好像很废精神来弄这道菜。。。但是“煮菜除了享受结果,也享受煮的过程”。。。不明白?慢慢参透吧!~~~
although it seems like spending a lot of effort and time to cook this dish, "cooking is not only enjoying the result but also the process... "
cannot understand? try it and you will know~~
