Shepherd's Purse and Pork Wontons
Seeing fresh shepherd's purse and not buying it... That feels like missing out on millions of dollars. Shepherd's purse is truly delicious. But its season is too short... Perhaps, If it were always available, We wouldn't find it so precious～ Am I right? (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵) This stuff, The kid can eat 15 at a time. Beyond that, I don't let them eat... o(︶︿︶)o
Ingredients
Steps
Grind the meat finely... The finer the better. If you want to chop it, I won't stop you!
Add a little salt, white pepper, light soy sauce, and sugar. Mix well to give the meat a base flavor!
Add 100g of water to the ginger and scallions. Use a blender to make ginger-scallion water.
Add the ginger-scallion water to the meat filling gradually.
Make sure to mix thoroughly after each addition. Let the meat absorb the liquid completely before adding more. Mix until sticky... Then refrigerate! Adjust water based on the situation. If the meat stops absorbing water before you finish, don't add more. If it absorbs all the water and could take more, add some cold water.
Trim the roots, old parts, and yellow leaves from the shepherd's purse. Wash thoroughly! I was pretty thorough in trimming, and not much was left from 500g. ಠ_ಠ
Boil water in a pot... Add a bit of cooking oil. Once the water boils, blanch the shepherd's purse for a few seconds.
Quickly remove it... Rinse and soak in cold water until fully cooled.
Squeeze out excess water... Then chop it finely...
Add it to the meat filling... Add salt, chicken bouillon powder, and sesame oil... Mix well...
The wonton filling is ready!
The simplest way to fold wontons: Place the filling in the center! Dab water along three edges.
Fold in half.
Fold slightly again.
Pinch the two ends together tightly.
The wontons are wrapped! Freeze them, cook as needed. No need to thaw!
I simmered a pot of pork bone soup.
Boil another pot of water.
When the water boils, add the wontons.
While the wontons cook, prepare the seasonings in the bowl. Add the pork bone soup or boiling water.
Since homemade fillings are large... When the wontons float, add cold water. Once they float again, you can scoop them out!
.....Ah, feed me!
