In fact, not only Xiaonuetanzi, but also Empress Changsun and Concubine Zhang made dumplings with the same strange shapes.
In order to maintain the shape of the dumplings, the dumplings they made were even more bizarre than the "steamed buns" in the hands of the little girl.
I tried it three times in a row, and the shape of the dumplings I made was different each time.
Empress Changsun blushed and asked Zhou Yu, "Xiao Yu, why are the dumplings I made completely different from what I imagined?"
Seeing everyone staring at him eagerly, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, reached out and took Xiaonaituanzi's work and said, "This is your first time making dumplings, so just make sure the filling doesn't leak. As for the shape, it will naturally get better as you get more familiar with it."
"Hehe~ This one is packed very tightly~"
The little kid, who originally had a look of grievance on his face, instantly turned from sadness to joy when he heard this, and raised his little head proudly.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun wanted to say something else.
But when she saw that the dumplings in Concubine Zhang's hand seemed not as good as Chengyang's, she had to swallow the words back into her stomach.
Zhou Yu is right, the shape of dumplings does not have much impact on the taste.
What’s more, since this is the first time for everyone, if the requirements are too high, we don’t know when we can even have a meal!
Thinking this in her heart, she immediately took the dumpling wrapper and started wrapping it again.
Zhang Jieyu had already started to back out, but seeing this, she had no choice but to continue.
Since the dumpling wrappers were made by the little princesses, even though they had to redo the work frequently, the quality of the dumpling wrappers was still a little hard to describe.
It is precisely because of this that even though Empress Changsun and others have become more and more skilled, the quality of dumplings still fluctuates.
Fortunately, because there were so many people, the dumplings were made very quickly.
After about half an hour of hard work, the dumplings were enough for everyone to eat.
Seeing that the little princesses' interest seemed to have mostly dissipated, Zhou Yu waved his hand and handed the battlefield over to Qinglan and several other maids.
Go to the kitchen and boil water.
While the water was boiling, Zhou Yu prepared a dipping sauce with chili peppers, coriander, light soy sauce and aged vinegar.
There are actually many kinds of dipping sauces for dumplings.
As far as Zhou Yu knows, many people like to add ginger juice or minced garlic.
Zhou Yu was somewhat reluctant to accept these two things.
Besides, there are several little princesses at home, so it’s better not to try things with strong smells.
As for chili peppers and coriander, they have all been tried and tested by the little princesses, so there is naturally no psychological burden when adding them together.
Prepare the sauce and bring the water in the pot to a boil.
Zhou Yu first scooped two spoonfuls of boiling water and poured it on the sauce, and then began to put the dumplings into the pot.
Although these dumplings are all strange in shape, Zhou Yu reminded them in advance so that the fillings will not be exposed.
Put the dumplings into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. After adding cold water three times in succession, the steaming dumplings are ready to be taken out of the pot.
The little girl who had been waiting eagerly in the kitchen couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow~ these dumplings smell so good~"
"Sizi is right. These dumplings seem to be even more delicious than the ones we had outside last time."
Upon hearing this, Chengyang nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Li Lizhi was also puzzled, Zhou Yu immediately explained with a smile: "Most of the dumplings sold outside are quick-frozen. Even if the quality is good, the taste will be greatly reduced after being frozen.
Moreover, in order to save costs, merchants tend to use much lower quality ingredients.
As a result, the texture and taste will naturally be much worse.”
As he was speaking, all the dumplings in the pot had been taken out.
Although there were quite a lot of dumplings in the first pot, if they were distributed to each person, there wouldn't be many left.
In order to ensure that everyone could taste the dumplings freshly out of the pot first, Zhou Yu simply scooped the dumplings into the soup bowl.
After instructing a maid to continue cooking the dumplings, Zhou Yu came outside with the dumplings that had just come out of the pot.
Li Yuan, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, had actually already set his mind on the kitchen.
Seeing the steaming hot dumplings being served, he didn't care about his image and directly grabbed the chopsticks and picked up one.
That's right.
As early as when he was making dumplings, he already had a mental expectation of the shape of the dumplings.
However, after hearing Zhou Yu say that the shape does not affect the taste, he put this issue behind him.
Anyway, you have to chew it after it enters your mouth. As long as it tastes good, why bother with so many things?
Thinking this in his mind, he didn't care whether the dumpling was hot or not, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Huha~ Huha~
So hot~
Huha~ Huha~
Smells so good~
Huha~ Huha~
So delicious~
When Li Yuan took a bite of the dumplings, he got burned badly.
But even so, he couldn't bear to spit out the dumplings in his mouth.
As your teeth bite through the dumpling skin, the soup with the aroma of the filling blooms in your mouth.
If it wasn't so hot, he wouldn't have been willing to open his mouth.
Seeing Li Yuan's performance, the little kid next to him said excitedly: "Aunt, how is it? Is it good? It's really good~"
"Delicious, so delicious! I've never eaten dumplings this delicious before."
Seeing the little girl looking at him eagerly, Li Yuan immediately gave her an unclear compliment.
As he spoke, he picked up another one and put it in his mouth.
Seeing this, the little girl couldn't help herself.
The chubby little hands stretched out and immediately reached for the steaming dumplings.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was so scared that he quickly turned the dumplings to the side.
But his evasive action made the little kid slightly stunned when his hand missed.
