The other day I made a lot
of dumplings. I didn’t really count how many are they, around 150, I’ll say. I made
everything from scratch, including the dumplings’ skins (made with unbleached wheat
flour and water only). And after folding all the dumplings, there is some dough
left over I then makes them into noodles.
The reason why, I prefer
make the dumpling skin myself, not only because it tastes better, but also that
I found the store made ones, most of them contain additives, like preservatives
and the flour is bleached.
The ingredients for the fillings
are the following: ground pork, shrimps, cabbage (since it does not contain a
lot of water in this kind of vegetable, so I only mix salt with it for a little
while and does not squeeze out water from it, I only dump out some very tiny
little bit of water come out from it), eggs, green onion, garlic, ginger (I forgot
to have it this time), salt, pepper, soy sauce.
We have some fresh the same
day and freeze the others for some other day. Overall I really like that. But once
again, I do need a food processor for the vegetables and/or the grinder for the
meat. And yes! I bought the chunk meat and have the butcher ground it for me. Somehow
I do prefer that if I can ground it myself. Oh! Maybe, just maybe I do need a mixer
and a machine for the dumpling skin/noodle.
When the day end, when I go
to bed, I was tossed and turn and couldn’t go to sleep, my right arm is so sore
and painful. I do my daily prayer as usual before I fall asleep but not for my
arm particular. And I start to try to massage my right arm with my left arm,
which is the good one. And then there is a thought come into my mind, what if
my left arm also sore by massage my right arm before the right arm gets better.
At that point I still continue my prayer. Guess what happen next? Be honest
with you, I don’t know either. The only thing that I remember is the next day
morning when I open my eyes with no sore and painful arm. Oh! Yes! I have a
good night sleep. It’s incredible!
