INGREDIENTS

Main Ingredients

  • ·
    100g kudzu starch
  • ·
    50g pork belly
  • ·
    30g dried tofu

Additional Ingredients

  • ·
    30g rehydrated shiitake mushrooms
  • ·
    30g fresh bamboo shoots
  • ·
    50g salted pork

Seasonings

  • ·
    15ml cooking oil
  • ·
    Several (for padding) bamboo leaves

DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Ingredient preparation:

Wash pork belly, remove the stems of rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu, fresh bamboo shoots, and salted pork respectively and cut them into cube shapes and set aside.

Step 2

Preliminary treatment of stir-frying fillings:

Heat a pan and pour 15 milliliters of oil. After the oil is hot, put in the pork belly cubes and stir continuously until the surface is slightly browned to fully stimulate the fragrance of pork belly.

Step 3

Stir-frying side dishes:

After the pork belly turns golden yellow, add salted pork cubes and bamboo shoot cubes in turn. 

Continue to stir-fry for a while to let the salty fragrance of salted pork and the freshness of bamboo shoot cubes blend in.

Then put in mushroom cubes and dried tofu cubes and continue to stir-fry until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 4

Making kudzu starch paste:

Pour 500 milliliters of clear water into the pot and bring it to a boil.

While quickly stirring the soup in the pot with a spoon, slowly pour in 100 grams of kudzu starch to ensure that the kudzu starch is evenly integrated into the soup and gradually forms a thick paste.

Step 5

Prepare a steamer:

Prepare a steamer in advance and spread several washed bamboo leaves on the bottom of the steamer.

Bamboo leaves can not only prevent the dumplings from sticking but also add a unique fragrance to the dumplings.

Step 6

Kneading dumplings:

Take out the kudzu starch filling mixture in the pot and let it cool down a little. 

Dip your hand in a little clear water to prevent the filling from sticking to your hand. Knead it into balls about 3 centimeters in size.

Place them on the bamboo leaves one by one until the steamer is filled with balls.

Note that the size of the dumplings should be as uniform as possible to ensure consistent heating during steaming.

Step 7

Steaming dumplings:

Put the steamer filled with dumplings into a steamer, cover the lid, and steam on high heat for about 15 minutes.

During the steaming process, ensure that there is sufficient and stable steam so that the inside of the dumplings can be evenly heated and cooked through.

Step 8

Take out and enjoy:

When the time is up, open the lid and the fragrant Tapioca Flour Dumplings can be taken out and enjoyed.
