Steps to make Sixi Dumplings

1. Cut carrots, sweet corn, peas, and black fungus (already soaked) into small pieces.
2. Mix the beef and shepherd's purse filling.
3. Add an appropriate amount of filling to the dumpling wrapper, which should be less than the usual filling used for making dumplings. Do not wrap too much and leave some space to fill with four-color vegetables.
4. First pinch diagonally, then pinch the dumpling skin into four corner cavities, fill them with filling, and press them tightly with chopsticks.
5. Pinch the skin on both sides towards the center and use your fingers to tighten the center again, forming a four petal shape.
6. Then pinch the adjacent dumpling skins tightly to form four circular holes.
7. Fill each dumpling's round hole with crushed carrots, peas, crushed fungus, and corn kernels separately. When filling, you can use a small spoon to fill the filling, which is more convenient.
8. The well made Sixi dumplings look beautiful.
9. Once the dumplings are wrapped, they can be steamed directly in a pot with cold water. After the water boils, steam for about 8-10 minutes.
