A: 你能告訴我怎樣包餃子嗎?
B: My pleasure. First of all, pour water into the wheat flour, and stir it until it becomes a piece of dough. Also get some filling ready. It can be vegetables or meat.
B: 我很樂意。首先倒些水到面粉中,然后攪拌,把它拌成一個面團(tuán)。同時準(zhǔn)備好一些餃子餡,餡可以是蔬菜也可以是肉。
A: Then what should I do with them?
A: 然后我該怎么做呢?
B: Cut the large piece of dough into many small pieces, roll the dough with a rolling pin into round, thin wrappers.
B: 把面團(tuán)分成一個個小塊兒,用搟面杖把它搟成一個圓而薄的餃子皮兒。
A: How thin should the wrappers be?
A: 餃子皮兒應(yīng)該有多厚呢?
B: It's up to you. You only need to make sure that the dumplings won't burst when you boil them. But many people like thin wrappers. Then put the filling in the center of a wrapper and fold it up. The last thing to do is to boil them. In northern China, dumplings are dipped in vinegar and soy sauce, and often eaten with a piece of raw garlic.
B: 這取決于你。你只要保證煮熟時餃子不破就行??墒窃S多人喜歡皮兒薄一點。然后把餡放到皮兒中,把它包起來。最后一件事就是把他們煮熟。在中國北方,人們通常把餃子蘸著醬油和醋吃,同時還吃大蒜。
