包餃子 Making Dumplings

一、和面：Preparing the Dough [d?u]

1. 寶寶們，咱們先和面。和面要用到面粉和水。

Babies, let’s start by preparing the dough. We will be using flour and water to make the dough.

2. 先把一些面粉倒在盆里，一邊把水慢慢倒進面粉里，一邊攪拌面粉。

Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl. Stir the flour as you slowly add water.

注：英語里會按用途來區(qū)分各種器皿，比如攪拌用的碗叫Mixing Bowl，上菜用的盤子叫Serving Plate。

3. 當面粉變成面疙瘩的時候，我們就可以下手和面了。

When the flour starts to cake, it’s time for us to use our hands to work on the dough.

4. 和面時，一只手握住盆的邊緣，另一只手用力揉面，揉到面團表面光滑為止。當盆和手都很干凈不沾黏時，面就和好了。

Hold the bowl with one hand and use the other hand to knead the dough until it becomes smooth. The dough is ready when the bowl and your hands are clean and no longer sticky.

5. 把面放在盆里醒一會兒，注意要用鍋蓋把盆蓋起來，不然面會變干的。

Put the dough into a bowl and let it stand for a while. Remember to cover the bowl with a lid, otherwise the dough will become dry.

二、做餡：Preparing the Filling

6. 孩子們，在醒面的同時，咱們干點別的，做餡兒。

Children, while the dough is standing, let’s switch gears and prepare the filling.

7. 今天，咱們包韭菜雞蛋餡兒餃子。首先，我們要把韭菜擇好、洗凈。

Today, we are going to make egg and chive dumplings. First, we need to pick out and rinse the chives.

8. 原料包括：三個雞蛋、一把韭菜、姜、鹽、醬油、料酒和香油少許。

The ingredients include three eggs, a handful of chives, some ginger, a pinch of salt, a dab of soy sauce, some cooking wine and some sesame oil.

9. 首先，把雞蛋打在碗里，用力把雞蛋打散。

Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl and beating them well.

10. 然后，在鍋中放入少許油，把雞蛋炒熟、炒碎。

Then add some oil into the wok and stir fry the eggs into small pieces.

11. 接下來，把韭菜切成小塊。切的時候左手握住韭菜，右手拿刀，一點一點切。

Next, dice the chives. Hold the chives with your left hand. Use your right hand to hold the knife and chop bit by bit.

12. 好了，現(xiàn)在把切好的韭菜和炒好的雞蛋放進一個大盆里。

Great. Now put the diced chives and fried eggs into a large mixing bowl.

13. 把姜切成沫，放入盛有雞蛋和韭菜的盆里。然后加入適量鹽、醬油、料酒、香油、和水，之后把餡兒攪拌均勻。這樣餡兒就做好了。

Cut the ginger into small pieces and add them into the mixing bowl along with the eggs and chives. Then, add some salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil and water and mix them together. The filling is now ready.

三、搟皮：Making the Dumpling Wrappers / Skin

14. 寶貝們，該做餃子皮了。首先，我們把案板清理干凈，在上面撒一些面粉，這樣面就不會粘在案板上了。

Sweethearts, it’s time to make the dumpling wrappers. First of all, we need to clean the cutting / chopping board and then sprinkle some flour on it. This makes sure the dough wont stick onto the chopping board.

15. 現(xiàn)在，我們拿出和好的面，用刀把它切成兩半，取出一半放在案板上。

Now, let’s take out the dough that we prepared earlier. Use a knife to cut the dough in half and place one of the halves on the chopping board.

16. 用手把面揉搓成一個長條，注意要保持粗細均勻。

Knead and roll the dough into a long strip. Make sure the thickness is even.

17. 然后，用刀把長條切成長度均勻的小段。

Next, cut the dough into even slices with a knife.

18. 切好之后，在小面塊上撒一些面粉，然后把小面塊們放到案板一側(cè)。

After that, dust some flour on the small slices of dough and put them to one end of the chopping board.

19. 拿一個小面塊放在案板中央，用手把它按扁。用搟面杖把它搟成圓形的薄片。最好讓邊兒比中間薄，這樣之后包起來更方便。

Put one of the cut dough slices in the center of the chopping board. Push / press it flat with one hand. Roll it out into a thin wrapper with a rolling pin. Youd better make the edge thinner than the center, which will come in handy at later stages.

20. 用相同的方法處理其他的小面塊。注意每張餃子皮兩面都要沾上補面，這樣它們才不會粘在一起。

Repeat with other dough slices. Make sure both sides of the wrapper are dusted with flour so that they won’t stick together.

四、包餃子：Making Dumplings

21. 小家伙們，我們終于可以開始包了。拿一張餃子皮，放在手里，手心彎曲成小碗的形狀。

Little buddies, we are finally ready to make dumplings. Take a wrapper and put it in one hand. Cup your hand into the shape of a small bowl.

22. 用勺子取一點兒餡兒放在餃子皮中央，輕輕壓實，把餡兒固定住。

Scoop some filling and put it in the center of the wrapper. Press it down gently to make sure the filling stays in the center.

23. 把餃子皮對折，先把正中間捏在一起固定住，然后從餃子的一端捏到另一端。

Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the middle together. Then pinch from one end to the other.

24. 把包好的餃子放在撒有補面的案板上。用相同的方法處理剩下的面和餡。

Place the dumplings on the floured chopping board. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

五、煮餃子：Cooking Dumplings

25. 小朋友們，咱們終于可以煮餃子了。拿一個大鍋，接半鍋水。

Kids, we are finally ready to cook the dumplings. Use a large pot and fill it half full with water.

26. 把鍋放在灶上，擰開火，開始燒水。

Put the pot on the stove, turn on the gas and bring it to a boil.

27. 水開了冒泡泡的時候，就可以把餃子下進去了。注意一次不要下太多，可以分幾次來煮。

When the water boils and bubbles break on the surface, we can put in the dumplings. Be careful and don’t put in too many at a time. We can cook them in several batches.

28. 餃子下水后，要馬上開始用勺的背面攪拌，使餃子在水中轉(zhuǎn)動。

As soon as the dumplings go into the water, we need to stir with the back side of the ladle immediately. This will make the dumplings swirl in the water.

29. 水開了，馬上要溢出來時，我們可以往鍋里加一些涼水，并繼續(xù)攪動。煮餃子的時候一般沸騰三次就可以了。俗話說，三開餃子兩開面。

When the boiling water is about to overflow, we could add some cold water and continue to stir. Usually, the dumplings are fully cooked after three boils. The rule says: boil three times for dumplings and two times for noodles.

30. 當所有餃子都漂在水面上時，就說明餃子煮熟了。開飯啦！

When all the dumplings are floating on the water, it means they are fully cooked. Dinner time!
