[I Love My Home] Mother's Day Gift - shepherd's purse balls

1. Remove the roots of shepherd's purse, wash it several times, and clean it thoroughly. Be sure to wash it clean, there is a lot of shepherd's purse puree.

Mix 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of white sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt for 2.80g of meat filling and marinate for 15 minutes.

3. Boil a pot of water, add 2 teaspoons of salt, add shepherd's purse, cook for 20 seconds, then remove and immediately rinse with cold water. Rinse several times with cold water.

4. Squeeze out the water from the washed shepherd's purse. A pound of shepherd's purse can also squeeze out such a small amount. Then switch to fragments. If you like a variety of dishes, buy more.

5. Mix 6 tablespoons of corn flour (approximately 120g) and 2.5 tablespoons of soybean flour (approximately 45g) evenly, with a ratio of approximately 2:1 between corn flour and soybean flour. Never add white flour, otherwise it will scatter. Use slightly hot water to make the dough into large clumps, then add 1 tablespoon of 5g baking powder. The baking powder should be added last, and after adding it, do not heat the water again. Otherwise, it will become ineffective. Cover with plastic wrap and wake up for 30 minutes.

6. Prepare meat filling when waking up. Add slightly more oil to the pan than usual when stir frying vegetables. First, add Sichuan peppercorns and stir fry until fragrant, then remove and discard.

7. Add chopped scallions and ginger and stir fry until fragrant. A slightly larger amount of chopped scallions and ginger will taste better.

8. Add minced meat and stir fry until the meat is almost white.

9. Add 1/2 teaspoon of chicken essence, about 3g; 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, about 3g; and 2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce, about 6g.

10. After waking up, pour 1 small amount of alkali flour into your hand and rub it evenly, about 1g. In short, beginners would rather put less than more and rub it evenly. If you think the dough is wet, add a little dry corn flour. Corn flour won't be kneaded into dough, as long as it can be pressed into a dough cake in your hand.

11. Add the meat filling to the dried shepherd's purse. I only used 1/3 of the meat filling, so more dishes are better. Add the oil for stir frying meat as well. Squeeze the water out of shepherd's purse, and it will absorb the oil, making it delicious. But don't add oil that can seep out. Add salt according to taste.

12. Prepare a steamer, add water to the cold pot and heat it up, then start making dumplings. Take a piece of cornmeal, press it into a pancake in your hand, and then add an appropriate amount of filling. Hold both hands in a bowl shape, press down with both thumbs, and tuck the other fingers in until they are all on top. If there are any leaks, you can use a new pancake to make up for them slightly. Put one in each group to ensure that the water has steam. After everyone is ready, steam over high heat for 20 minutes. Then cool it down a bit and take it out.
