During the Spring Festival, I made some extra mini Yuanbao dumplings as food supplement for my second baby. I put them in a sealed box and froze them. I just took them out and boiled them when I wanted to eat them. Yuanbao dumplings cooking tips

1. It is best to choose the kind of pumpkin with low moisture content. If the pumpkin has high moisture content, pay attention to the proportion of flour and adjust it accordingly when kneading the dough. The dough should not be too soft or too dry; 2. Green onions are used for dumpling fillings because green onions have the effect of relieving coughs, but children usually don’t like to eat them, so when making dumplings, they mince them and mix them with meat, and the children are willing to eat them. The key is that they can’t eat them, so be smart; 3. Chopped water chestnuts can be used as fillings to relieve greasiness and prevent colds. They are very suitable for eating in winter and will make the dumplings crispy and chewy; 4. Yuanbao’sThe size can be determined according to the preferences of the family. For example, my family has elderly people and children, so I will make a batch of large Yuanbao dumplings for the adults to eat with dipping sauce. At the same time, I will also make a batch of small mini Yuanbao dumplings. When children cook and eat it, there is no need to put dipping sauces on them. You can also use less vinegar and sesame oil as dipping sauces for children to eat; 5. As a supplementary food for older babies, I will also make some more mini Yuanbao dumplings and put them in safe boxes. This time I made two boxes, spread a layer of plastic wrap and put one layer in. One box can have three layers, cover it and put it in Chill in the refrigerator. I went to work, and grandma could take it out at home and cook a few for the second baby as a complementary meal to satisfy the second baby's craving.
