Making pot stickers and dumplings involves slight differences, mainly focusing on the amount of filling.
Since dumplings need to be sealed, the filling can't be too much. However, to make them look plump and appealing, the filling shouldn't be too little either, which is difficult for the inexperienced to control.
Meanwhile, for these open-ended pot stickers, more filling is required to allow the shrimp to perfectly cover the back, offering a more visually impactful presentation.
After making a few pot stickers, his movements gradually became more skillful, accelerating from the original seven to eight seconds per piece to four to five seconds.
From an observer's perspective, Lin Chen's actions were incredibly swift and precise, with every move carrying specific meaning.
His left index finger dipped in water, lightly rubbing the sides of the dumpling skin, while his right hand scraped the meat filling back and forth to shape it into an oval ball.
