Today we will make dumplings.

· We're going to use flour and water to

make the dough.

. Pour some flour into a large mixing

bowl and stir the flour as you slowl a

dd water.

· When the flour starts to cake , it's time

for us to use our hands to work on the

dough.

· Hold the edge of the bowl with one

hand and use the other hand to knead

the dough until it becomes smooth.

· The dough is ready when the bowl and

your hands are clean and no longer

sticky.

· Now we're going to let the dough rest.

· Put the dough into a bowl.

. Today we are going to make pork and

carrot filling dumplings.

· First , chop the meat , scallions , and

ginger into small pieces.

· Next, cut the carrot into small pieces.

· Then add an appropriate amount of

salt sauce and oil wine.

· Then mix all the materials together.

· Now it's time to make the dumpling

wrappers.

· First , we need to sprinkle some flour

on cutting board.

· Now, let's take out the dough and use a

knife to cut the dough in half.

· Knead and roll the dough into a long

strip , and make sure the thickness is

even.

· Next, cut the dough into even pieces

with a knife and dust some flour on

them.

· Roll it out into a thin round wrapper

with a rolling pin.

· Take a wrapper and put it in one hand

and cup your hand into the shape of a

small bowl.

· Scoop some filling and put it in the

center of the wrapper and press it

down gently to make sure the filling

stays in the center.

· Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the

middle together.

· And then from one end to the other.

· Put the dumplings on a chopping

board sprinkled with flour.

· Now, put the pot on the stove , turnon

the gas and bring it to a boil.

· When the water boils , we can put in

the dumplings.

· As soon as the dumplings go into the

water , we need to stir with the back

side of the ladle immediately and make

the dumplings swirl in the water.

· When the boiling water is about to over

flow, we need to add some cold water

· Usually, the dumplings are fully

cookedafter three boils.

· The rule says : boil three times for

dumplings and two times for noodles.

· When all the dumplings are floating

on the water , it means they are fully

cooked.
