1
If you don't know how the soup gets inside a soup dumpling, you will soon, because we're about to make them completely from scratch.
2
Soup dumplings are made of just three simple things.
3
You've got your dough, which you use to wrap the dumplings.
4
Then you've got your filling, which can be any kind of meat or vegetable mix.
5
And then of course, you've got the soup, which is where we're going to start.
6
To build that pork flavor in our soup, we start with some pork skin and a couple pork bones,
7
which we're then going to cover up with cold water and bring to a boil.
8
And once it comes to a boil, remove the bones and skin,
9
and bring them to the sink to give them a good rinse in cold water.
10
You can discard the dirty water.
11
We use that to clean the bones.
12
Then we need to clean off our pork skin.
13
You know that slightly sticky texture that you get in the broth of a soup dumpling?
14
Well, this skin here is filled with tons and tons of gelatin,
15
but you need to first remove any extra little bits of fat that might be on there.
16
Similar to cleaning the bones, this will give you a much more pure soup dumpling soup.
17
The last step is to cut this into strips, and it makes it a lot easier
18
if you roll it up like this instead of trying to cut the skin flat on the board.
19
Is it just me or do these look a little bit like white gummy worms?
20
These are now going to go into a heavy bottom stock pot along with the pork bones, some jinhua ham, a few slices of ginger,
21
some green onions, but just the bottom white part, some shoxing wine, and a couple pods of star anise.
22
Cover this now with five cups of water, doing your best to make sure everything is as submerged as possible,
23
and then bring this to a boil, then reduce to the lowest simmer possible, and let this cook for three hours uncovered.
24
Fast forward three hours and we have our beautifully milky soup.
25
Cooking the bones for so long is what allows us to get such a beautifully rich broth.
26
At this point, we'll strain off our soup, with the goal being to get 1 3⁄4 cups, but if it's reduced too much,
27
you can just add a little splash of water.
28
I'll pour this onto a small tray and carefully transfer it to the fridge, where it's going to set into its jello form.
29
To make our dough, we'll go into the bowl of a stand mixer with some all -purpose flour,
30
a pinch of salt, and some nice warm water.
31
And then, using chopsticks, I'll start to mix until a shaggy dough forms.
32
You don't have to make your own dough.
33
You could easily go buy dumpling wrappers from a grocery store, but I thought it'd be fun to try.
34
Once we have our shaggy dough that looks something like this, we'll set up our electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, and then we mix.
35
Oh.
36
We'll let this mix for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the dough becomes very soft and smooth.
37
Here we go.
38
Look how soft and smooth it is.
39
We're going to shape this up now into a nice ball,
40
and then we'll cover this up in plastic wrap and let this rest while we make our filling.
41
I'm going to sit him right up here.
42
He'll be watching to make sure I do everything right.
43
For our filling, To a bowl, we're going to add some ground pork, as well as some minced ginger, chopped green onions, some minced garlic,
44
a splash of soy sauce, a sprinkle of sugar, some white pepper, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and a pinch of salt.
45
Mix this up by hand until fully combined.
46
It's going to start smelling really good now.
47
Then add a splash of water and mix again for about two more minutes.
48
Once in a while, even picking up the filling and throwing it hard into your bowl to help that water really absorb.
49
It's really fun, but just do your best to make sure you don't miss the bowl.
50
When you're finished with this process, your filling is going to start to look lighter and fluffier, almost a little whipped.
51
Now we'll add in some sesame oil, then continue mixing, throwing it into the bowl a couple more times,
52
which helps to get the filling as tender as possible.
53
Finally, add in some neutral oil and then give it one last gentle mix.
54
No need to throw your filling anymore.
55
And your filling is done.
56
And now it's time to add in the soup.
57
As you can see here, this has completely solidified.
58
So many people are confused how you get the soup in a soup dumpling.
59
And now you know.
60
We turned our soup into a jello so we can combine it easily with our filling, but then when we go to cook our soup dumplings,
61
that jello is going to melt back down into a soup.
62
To spread our jello evenly into the filling, we're going to push it through a potato ricer, which isn't the most beautiful way to do it,
63
but it's very, very efficient.
64
If you don't have a potato ricer, go ahead and just chop it up really finely with a knife.
65
The final step of our now complete filling is to get in there with your hands
66
and mix this up as gently as you possibly can.
67
You also want to do this quickly because especially if you have warm hands,
68
you can literally start melting that jello back down into a soup right in the bowl, which we don't want.
69
With our filling finally complete, we'll cover it with plastic wrap and place this in the fridge for three hours, or preferably overnight.
70
By now, our dough has had plenty of rest, so let's roll it out into our dumpling wrappers.
71
I'll start by rolling it out into a nice smooth log, and then cut it into three even portions.
72
Then I'll roll each of these out just a little bit more.
73
Oh, look, we made a hot dog.
74
And then I'll grab one piece to work with and cover up the rest so it doesn't dry out.
75
Your goal now is to cut off 14 gram pieces of your dough, and you can use a scale to measure if you want,
76
or you can try to look like a pro soup dumpling chef
77
and try this technique where you eyeball it and use your hands to rip off one portion at a time.
78
But I will admit this is a little tricky if you're doing it for the first time,
79
so you should also feel free to just cut them into portions with your knife
80
because chances are they'll look a lot better this way just like mine did.
81
To turn each portion into a dumpling wrapper, the first step is to roll it into a ball.
82
Then press it out into a small circle shape like this.
83
Get it as perfectly circular as you possibly can here.
84
And then using just the tiniest dusting of flour, you want to hold the center with your thumb and pointer finger
85
while you use the rest of your fingers to spin it around as you roll the edges.
86
What you're looking for is a dumpling wrapper with a slightly thicker center and really nice thin edges.
87
Once you've made each wrapper, place that under the towel along with the other unrolled portion so that that doesn't dry out either.
88
I just remembered this story I wanted to tell you about this restaurant I used to work at in California.
89
This is the best photo I could find of me working at that restaurant.
90
But what I remember is that their most famous dish at the time was this lobster soup dumpling.
91
And I had to work on making part of those soup dumplings every single morning when I came into the restaurant.
92
But the chef was very intense when it came to the filling.
93
So I'll tell you the crazy part once we get to actually adding in our filling.
94
After a bit of rolling, here are my dumpling wrappers.
95
And this means we're ready for the final assembly.
96
Grab your filling.
97
It's all nice and cold from the fridge.
98
And it smells amazing.
99
Add a light dusting of flour to your work surface.
100
Then grab one of your dumpling wrappers and use your fingers to press all around the edges.
101
Now, place it in the center of your palm
102
and then use a spoon or any kind of tool like this to spread it out into a circle.
103
You see that nice mix of the soup jello with all our meat?
104
That is what's going to give us the perfect juicy and balanced soup dumpling.
105
Now comes the hard part, folding and pleating the soup dumplings so they end up looking something like this.
106
In one hand, use your thumb to press down in the filling
107
while you use your pointer finger to support the underside of wrapper
108
and with the other use your thumb
109
and pointer finger to fold the wrapper over itself then pinch
110
and then after giving it a little stretch repeat
111
that same process over and over again with the goal of getting somewhere between 14
112
and 18 folds and if you can get 18 apparently that's the lucky number
113
but i'm too lazy and hungry to count this
114
so please help me out in the comments below i recently went to shanghai where soup dumplings were invented
115
and was watching these chefs fold and shape these soup dumplings you can see
116
that they've clearly been doing this for a long time, so if you are trying this on your own at home,
117
just know that it takes a while to learn.
118
And it's definitely not easy to do right.
119
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you the rest of my story.
120
Basically, when I would come into work in the mornings, I would work on the soup dumpling fillings.
121
And I had to portion and weigh the filling into these perfectly sized balls.
122
And when the chef came in each afternoon for work, he would take that tray and weigh a couple of the balls of filling.
123
And if they weren't all in the tiny range of weights that he was looking for, guess who got in trouble?
124
It was crazy.
125
But it's also probably why he has a three Michelin star restaurant.
126
Anyways, I'm hungry, so I say we get to cooking.
127
We'll cook our dumplings using this steamer basket, and if you don't have a steamer basket, just look up online how to make a makeshift one.
128
The only thing we need to prepare this is to add a sheet of perforated parchment paper, and then it's ready to go.
129
Place it carefully over some boiling water,
130
but it's important that we're really careful because one of the worst ways to burn yourself in the kitchen is hot steam.
131
We'll add in our soup dumplings spaced out evenly.
132
I made enough soup dumplings here that I need a multi -level steamer basket to cook them,
133
and then place on your lid and set a timer for six minutes
134
if they haven't been frozen and eight minutes if they have been frozen.
135
And now I'll go grab a pair of chopsticks because it's almost time.
136
Let's see how they look.
137
They're beautiful.
138
When I went to Shanghai in China and had a soup dumpling,
139
there was so much soup inside that I actually choked on the first soup dumpling I ate there.
140
I sort of tried to create this recipe in
141
that exact same way because normally I feel like you don't get soup dumplings anymore that are that soupy.
142
And that's kind of the whole point.
143
Watch carefully.
144
There's a very specific and correct way to eat a soup dumpling.
145
We pick it up, then we bite it, then pour out all the juice into the spoon.
146
Drink the juice.
147
Packed, packed, packed full of flavor.
148
It's savory, it's juicy, it's a little sweet.
149
It's why I love soup dumplings.
150
But with the rest here, dip it now into some black vinegar that's got thin sliced ginger in there, and then...
151
Gotta be one of the best things I've ever eaten.
152
If anyone needs me, I'll be burning my tongue on like 10 more of these.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
