Crystal dumplings?

In Henan, foodies’ feelings for dumplings can be described as “devoted love”. Whether it is the first meal back home or the last meal before leaving home, family members will make dumplings with their own hands to express their feelings. Because in the hearts of foodies, dumplings are not only synonymous with festivals and reunions, but also the simplest food that is close to happiness.

This restaurant I recently discovered specializes in dumplings and hand-made noodles. The most interesting thing is that both store owners and foodies say that the dumplings here are "crystal dumplings". Crystal dumplings? It must have something to do with thin skin. With such a loud tone, are you really capable or is it just a gimmick? Go test it now!

The restaurant is not big and the door is not conspicuous, so you will miss it if you pass by. However, while we stood outside the store and observed it for more than ten minutes, several groups of diners came in and out one after another. Some diners arrived late and simply ate at the small table propped up by the door.

Although it is an inconspicuous little restaurant, it has been popular in the nearby foodie circle for nearly ten years. Most of the foodies have become regular customers from new customers. The lunch time is short, so come here to eat a bowl of dumplings or hand-made noodles, which is simple but satisfying; there is plenty of time in the evening, so make an appointment with a few friends, and the dumplings will be paired with wine. The more you drink, the better!

The cooked dumplings are like big white and fat dolls, lying on the plate. Although it is not as transparent as a true "crystal", the dumpling skin is still visibly thin. Through the dumpling skin, you can vaguely see the full filling inside. One more look at it and you can't help but want to pick it up and eat it.

Emerald green leeks are paired with meat-filled dumplings. When you take a bite, the aroma of pork and the fragrance of leeks perfectly blend, and your mouth is filled with fillings. The dumpling wrapper looks thin, but is chewy in the mouth. Savoring it carefully, you will find that the noodles are fragrant and chewy, giving you a sense of simplicity at home.

Hand-rolled noodles, foodies who like this bite say, if you have to choose between dumplings and hand-rolled noodles, it is better to hand-rolled noodles! Pour the tomato and egg marinade on top, sprinkle some shredded cucumber, pick up the chopsticks and mix it up before eating. Although the braised noodles taste average, the smooth and chewy texture of the hand-rolled noodles left a deep impression on the taste buds.

When foodies come here, whether they are eating dumplings or hand-made noodles, the most popular comment is that it has "chewy texture". It turns out that the dumpling wrappers and hand-rolled noodles in the store are made by hand every day. I heard from the boss that hundreds of kilograms of flour are used every day.

In addition to dumplings and hand-made noodles, diners come here to eat and also like to pair it with some braised noodles. Meat, sausages, etc. The braised pork looks greasy, but it is not greasy when you eat it. The fat meat almost melts away with the tip of your tongue, but the lean meat still retains its chewy texture. The sausage is evenly fat and thin, with a sweet base and a slightly spicy aftertaste, which is full of flavor.

The inside and outside of the store are managed by the owner and his wife. The dumplings are all made by hand. The dumplings are almost done here, and they still have to find time to cut and roll the dough. So in terms of service, we basically can't keep up. If you mind, don't go. The overall score is 7.9. (Only for the quality of products produced on that day, the evaluation standard is 10 points)
