Jiaozi, dumplings, are a very common food in Asia. In fact, there are some sources, that claim this kind of food has traveled to Asia from west, even from Finland. This is plausible, since one of the traditional Finnish foods is Carelian pies, prepared the similar way as dumplings.
This time, however, the dinners is prepared in Chinese way. The method is very labor intensive, but at the same time it offers a nice way to prepare dinner together with friends.
Ingredients;
celery
minced chicken
ginger
garlic
spring onion
coriander
eggs
wheat dough
The ingredients are minced and mixed together. The wheat dough is made the similar way as pasta dough, flour, water and egg. Small pieces of dough are then rolled thin and round. Spoonful of the filling is added to each of them, and the package is carefully closed. The dumplings are then boiled in a big kettle. One portion is added into the boiling water, and when the water boils again, some cold water is added. This is repeated three times, and the dumplings are ready.
For this dinner we made the dumplings the previous day, and fried them for the dinner in turnip rape oil. Served with soya sauce and grated garlic.
