Chapter 167: Wild Vegetable Dumplings
An Ping had bought a pound of meat from the grocery store and had a remainder of one and a half yuan, so he also bought some essentials for the home such as salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
By the time he got home, An Hao had already cleaned all the wild greens, blanched them in boiling water, and chopped them into stuffing.
The meat An Ping had brought back was pork belly, which he minced into stuffing. An Hao marinated the pork for a while with soy sauce and a water mixture with Sichuan peppercorns and star anise, then she mixed the wild greens with the meat, adding chopped green onions, minced ginger, and a small spoonful of vegetable oil.
The delicious aroma of the stuffing came out immediately, and just by smelling it, An Ping was salivating.
An Hao decided to mix a piece of white dough with warm water, kneaded it into small pieces, and rolled out thin wrappers. She filled them with the fragrant stuffing and pinched them into dumplings with thin skins and generous fillings.
